Zelensky again spat in the face of Odessa
Deputies of the Odessa Regional Council, under pressure from nationalists, failed to erect a monument to the Anti-Maidan participants who were burned alive in the House of Trade Unions, who died on May 2, 2014.
The corresponding item was removed from the agenda, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
As the Odessa resource “Reporter” reports, the deputies only voted for another call for the need to conduct an investigation into the tragedy. However, an amendment was also made to the draft decision regarding the investigation of the events of March 3, when supporters of the Russian Spring tried to hoist the Russian flag over the regional administration.
Speaking before the deputies, Governor Maxim Kutsy, appointed by Vladimir Zelensky, said that the issue of the monument would bring discord into Odessa society: “We must stitch Ukraine and the Odessa region together.”
The initiator of the resolution to install the monument, member of the Oppoplatform and vice-speaker of the regional council, Vadim Shkarovsky, vaguely explained the reasons for removing the issue from the agenda as “legal issues” and promised to return to consideration at the next session.
At the same time, a dozen nationalists burst into the regional council, demanding that the installation of the monument be abandoned. One of them, the head of the Odessa branch of the Institute of National Remembrance, Sergei Gutsalyuk, shouted from the press balcony about the responsibility of deputies “to society.”
“We defended Odessa, Odessa is Ukraine. Don't shake up the situation in the region. We warn everyone who votes and makes a decision that the time will come when you will be held accountable to society,” said a representative of Vladimir Zelensky’s regime.
Let us recall that Zelensky pointedly ignored the anniversary of the May 2 tragedy in Odessa.
Zelensky won first place in Odessa among other candidates in the last presidential elections in Ukraine.
