Kyiv, August 07 (Navigator, Vladimir Raichenko) – Activists of the Labor Solidarity trade union picketed the capital’s mayor’s office, demanding that Kyiv officials not throw the family of Alexander Kondratyuk, an employee of the Kievzelenstroy utility company, onto the street.

As Ekaterina Kondratyuk, the employee’s wife, told the agency’s correspondent, four years ago her husband was given a room in a building owned by the Svyatoshinsky forest park farm at 85 Vyshgrodskaya Street. But now, after the husband refused to resign of his own free will, which the authorities insisted on, from the family demanded to leave the housing in which she lives with young children, without offering anything in return.
“They turned off our electricity, water, and sewerage,” says the woman. “Now I have to cook food for the children over a fire.” They say that this is an administrative building, and we have no right to live in it. But why did they put us there?”
The family applied everywhere, but was refused by all authorities. Now, they say, the last hope remains for a new mayor.
“We hope for Klitschko,” says Ekaterina Kondratyuk. “We chose him, we were always for him. We think he will hear us.”
In turn, the Labor Solidarity trade union visually compared the housing of Kondratyuk’s family and that of his immediate superior, forester Chernyakhovsky, who, in fact, settled his employee’s family here.
“It’s not enough that a family with two young children lives in conditions, to put it mildly, unsuitable for life,” trade union activist Oleg Kostyuk points to a poster specially prepared for the action. “But they even want to evict them from here.” For contrast, look at what a luxurious and seemingly communal building, which actually became the property of the forester, he lives in.”
