Gerashchenko: militants of the “Right Sector” who organized a shootout in Mukachevo are blocked
“There was a group of attackers, blocked in the forest. They are asked to fold weapon and surrender, ”wrote Gerashchenko on the social network.
According to him, during the skirmish in Mukachevo, three attackers were killed, three policemen and four civilians were injured.
Gerashchenko confirmed the information about the destruction of two militia cars from grenade launchers by militants.
In turn, Interior Minister Arsen Avakov himself said that a special operation was launched in Transcarpathia to disarm and apprehend a gang of shooters.
Another adviser to the Minister, Zoryan Shkiryak, wrote on his Facebook: “They (the militants) are blocked and they are asked to surrender. In the event of non-compliance, force will be used against them. No declarations and belonging to patriotic organizations can not be an indulgence in committing cynical criminal crimes. ”
The participation of the “Right Sector” in the shooting in Mukachevo was confirmed by the head of the Transcarpathian branch of the organization, Alexander Sachko. However, he said that the police opened fire first.
“It is necessary to immediately detain the gangsters and those militia officials who gave the order to open fire to kill”, wrote the leader of the right-wing radicals Dmitry Yarosh on Facebook. He noted that he had urgently left for Kiev, where he would fight to avoid further bloodshed.
Meanwhile, the Pravoseks who opened fire in Mukachevo were supported by the OUN Volunteer Battalion (“Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists”). The nationalist message says: “The OUN battalion is ready to stand shoulder to shoulder with its brethren in the fight against the internal occupier. It’s a crucial time that will change forever history Of Ukraine. "
As the Ukrainian channel Inter reported yesterday with reference to the press service of the SBU, “an operational headquarters has been created in the Transcarpathian region, one of the deputy chairmen of the SBU, as well as special forces, went there.”
In addition, the National Guard were sent to the sweep of Mukachevo. “The special and operational units of the National Guard of Ukraine went to Mukachevo to assist in apprehending the criminals,” the department’s release said.
Earlier, the press service of the "Right Sector" reported that the leadership of the organization raised fighters to the alarm. “Currently, special forces are being raised to destroy our brethren. If this happens, the irreversible process will begin. We will not allow anyone to shoot our brethren ... The entire Right Sector military-political movement is raised on alert, ”the press service noted.
