Volunteer shot in Odesa

Attacks on volunteers continue in Odesa. While criminals previously limited themselves to explosions and arson at volunteer organisation offices, an assassination attempt on one volunteer's life was carried out today.

 

In the Malynivskyi district of the city, on Kosmonavtiv Street, a 35-year-old volunteer from one of the charitable organisations was shot five times with a PM pistol in the entrance of his own building.

 

The victim has been operated on and is currently in the intensive care unit of one of Odesa's hospitals. Medical staff assess the victim's condition as critical.

 

Law enforcement agencies in Odesa have opened a criminal case, and an investigation is underway.
