Volunteer's car set on fire in Kharkiv

A car was set on fire again in Kharkiv overnight. This time, the perpetrators set fire to a volunteer's vehicle. According to Roman Donik, the criminals likely tracked the volunteer, as the car was parked away from its owner Oksana Kalmykova's registered address.

 

«Сегодня ночью, в Харькове нашему активисту и волонтеру сожгли автомобиль. Разбили стекло и забросили "зажигалку". 
Не по месту прописки. Скорее всего отследили.
Просим на время обострения всем быть предельно осторожными. Автомобили по возможности ставить на охраняемые стоянки
Ждем от Оксаны Калмыковой заявления от имени ГУ МВД о раскрытии этого преступления в ближайшие дни. Если конечно, она не установит, что мы сами подожгли автомобиль в целях збагаченя (Tonight, in Kharkiv, our activist and volunteer's car was set on fire. They smashed the window and threw in a Molotov cocktail. Not at her registered address. Most likely, they tracked her. We ask everyone to be extremely cautious during this period of escalation. Park cars in secure lots whenever possible. We await a statement from Oksana Kalmykova on behalf of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs regarding the resolution of this crime in the coming days. Unless, of course, she determines that we set fire to the car ourselves for the purpose of enrichment), - Roman Donik wrote on his Facebook page.

 

This is not the first car arson in Kharkiv recently, and certainly not the last. Primarily, vehicles belonging to activists, volunteers, or even simply cars painted in camouflage colours are being targeted.
