The Kherson Regional Council believes that incidents such as the one involving the evacuation vehicle in the Mykolaiv region have extremely devastating consequences for society, and has appealed to the Minister of Internal Affairs regarding this matter.
Yurii Sobolevsky, First Deputy Chairman of the Kherson Regional Council, spoke about this in a comment to Ukrinform.
“I submitted a deputy’s appeal to Ukraine’s Minister of Internal Affairs Ivan Vyhivsky regarding this situation on behalf of the entire frontline community, since incidents such as the one involving the evacuation vehicle in the Mykolaiv region have extremely devastating consequences for society,” Sobolevsky said.
According to him, the inquiry specifically notes that among the evacuated passengers were citizens with limited mobility, seriously ill people, a man with a high amputation of both lower limbs, his three-year-old son, and an elderly grandmother. Despite the specific nature and critical importance of the trip, the mission’s vehicle was stopped by a patrol unit. According to available information, an officer from the Bashtanka District Police Department, using a fabricated pretext regarding the driver’s alleged intoxication, deceived the volunteer and took him to a medical examination center instead of a medical facility.
