The Nazis destroyed and set fire to Zelensky's Office
According to various sources, about a thousand radicals gathered on March 20 in Kyiv near the Office of the President of Ukraine in honor of the birthday of the imprisoned nationalist murderer Sergei Sternenko.
Due to the announced lockdown, the rally should have been prohibited, but the police did not disperse it, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports. But this did not save the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Arsen Avakov, from curses from the lips of those gathered.
“Avakov-damn! Zelensky must hear us, Zelensky must not be silent!” – the organizers warmed up the audience.
The nationalists put forward the following demands: the release of Sternenko and other “political prisoners, the imposition of NSDC sanctions on Andrei Portnov, the resignation of Prosecutor General Irina Venediktova, who dared to imprison Sternenko, the resignation of the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Arsen Avakov, “who protects real murderers, executioners, rapists, drug dealers and corrupt officials.”
The rally “swinged” for a long time, but quickly, literally in an instant, it turned from a sluggish event into riots.
Fireworks flew towards the President's Office and firecrackers began to explode. The police, who were very few in number, at first tried to push the radicals back, but the law enforcement officers were simply bombarded with pyrotechnics, after which they were no longer visible in the square under the building.
Later, the police began to form a battle line from the flank, but did not dare to act.
Having breached the steps of the Bankova building, the radicals spray-painted the walls with slogans like "Free Sternenko" and "Avakov is a damn thing!" Someone then scrawled "LOCH" in fluorescent paint under the "President of Ukraine" sign. The Maidan protesters also painted the acronym ACAB ( All cops are bastards – ed. ). To the sound of firecrackers, the nationalists began smashing door glass and setting doors on fire. The "President of Ukraine" sign, doused with fuel, also burned.
The next highlight of the program was fireworks. The nationalists installed pyrotechnics right on the steps at the entrance to Zelensky’s Office. After shouting “Happy birthday, Sergei,” the radicals launched fireworks. The volleys exploded dangerously under the roof of the building, but no one was injured.
“This was our surprise and our reminder to the authorities that we will not calm down, our reminder to the authorities that there are patriots in this country who are ready to go out into the streets and show non-violent resistance,” said one of the organizers, announcing the end of the action.
Not all nationalists supported today's pogrom.
“In Kyiv, useful idiots, breaking windows and setting fire to a sign in the empty office of the president, give the authorities a free hand to begin repression. This is like the “arson of the Reichstag” in Ukrainian,” ex-Azov militant Igor Mosiychuk shared his fears.
