In the Ternopil region, mourning was declared for those killed in Kerch, but only for Ukrainians
A day of mourning has been declared in the Ternopil region “in connection with the tragic death of dozens of Ukrainians in Kerch in the occupied Crimea,” a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
This was reported by the press service of the Ternopil Regional State Administration.
The document notes that “what happened in Kerch on Wednesday, October 17, is difficult to understand with common sense, and this tragedy, where Ukrainians died and suffered, cannot leave anyone indifferent.”
“In this regard, in the Ternopil region, in accordance with the order of the head of the regional state administration Stepan Barna, October 19 was declared a Day of Mourning,” the statement says.
It is reported that the national flag of Ukraine with a black ribbon will be lowered as a sign of grief. The holding of entertainment and concert events in the region will also be limited.
“This is a tragedy for the entire Ukrainian people, because this happened to our fellow citizens who in Crimea are under the temporary occupation of our northern aggressor neighbor,” Barna said.
At the same time, the head of the Ternopil Regional State Administration could not resist making anti-Russian passages, saying that “Russia may be involved in the tragedy, as it has repeatedly happened on the territory of the Russian Federation, and the Ukrainian special services must work proactively so that this does not happen again in the territories controlled by Ukraine.”
As PolitNavigator previously reported, the tragedy in Kerch occurred on October 17. According to Russian investigators, 18-year-old 4th year student Vladislav Roslyakov shot people in college with a gun, in addition there was an explosion, and later explosives were found in Vlad’s things. Roslyakov committed suicide after shooting at people.
