MP from the Opposition Platform – For Life party Oleh Voloshyn commented on shooting of the bus of the Patriots – For Life organization activists near Kharkiv.
“This is a colossal tragedy. They constantly threaten the leaders, politicians. I have always told them that if they want to get a real civil war, they will get it. Today they have taken another very dangerous step towards civil war. Everyone needs to be aware of this,” he noted.
The MP added that if the organizers are not arrested for the next few hours, or at least imprisoned without bail for the duration of the investigation, then what else could be done except reacting accordingly.
“For my part, I have already informed all the key Western embassies in Kyiv and directly wrote to my American colleagues about the situation. Here are videos and photographs of wounded people, machine gun shells, a shot on the bus. Put a question to the authorities that something should be done or this will be very bad for everyone. Naturally, we will raise this issue in the next few days. Next week the European Parliament begins to work. We will do this at the level of the European Parliament, so that the National Corps finally, as it long ago deserves, was recognized as a terrorist organization,” Voloshyn added.
How will the For Death party start a civil war with only 10% support of the Ukrainian people? If the fucking Russians didn’t have a political party in Ukraine, none of this would be happening. This could also be a Russian provocation too, it wouldn’t surprise me at all. When the Moskali are prepared with statements it has the feeling of provocation. We just saw that with another bus a month ago.
Amazing that Azov has access to the Opposition party’s travel plans. This Kiva criminal is the guy fighting with a Donbas veteran in Rada a while back.

Yep, they immediately knew who did it and arrested them and gave their statements. None of it is plausible.
There is a lot of talk on social media about Avakov being involved. Whether that’s just idle gossip, who knows. Another thing I find ironic, Medvedchuk congratulates Lukashenko on his election victory, never mentions the terrorism there, yet 112 have the story about Azov almost before the incident happens.
And what would Azov batt be doing in Kharkiv? Give me a break.
If this was Azov these Russians would be dead, they have enough experience exterminating vermin.
Zelensky is a Putin puppet. Get rid of him!
What’s the problem? Someone only tried to cleanse the country of mafia vermin.
“He said that the bus was fired upon by members of the Azov regiment and the National Corps party.”
I suppose they had Azov regiment stamped on their foreheads.
They left a business card at the scene…
I think if Azov had attacked this bus, there would be no fucking bus left. Strange terrorist attack where conveniently nobody gets killed.
