Three people were injured during fighting with a group of people in T-shirts from the public organization “Tradition and Order” at the press center of the Ukrinform news agency in Kyiv.
“They have beaten three people,” Maryna Synhayivska, Ukrinform deputy director-general said on July 30.
A man who tried to block the entrance to the hooligans suffered injuries. An ambulance was called.
Earlier that day, a group of people in T-shirts of the public organization “Tradition and Order” disrupted a press conference of parliamentary candidates from the single-member constituency No. 50 and vandalized the Ukrinform press center.
In the building of Ukrinform, where the press conference of the candidates Serhiy Koshukov (representative of European Solidarity) and Andriy Aksionov (self-nominated) in the single-mandate district No. 50 (Pokrovsk, Dobropillia, Myrnohrad, Dobropilsky district of Donetsk region) took place, more than 10 men in T-shirts with the words “Tradition and Order” broke in. They broke the glass, the door, threw eggs at the participants of the press conference, poured water on the people present at the press center and shouted, “Out with the separatist Aksionov.”
The activists accuse Aksionov of being a Russian citizen, a claim Aksionov denied.
Police was called and arrived after about 20 minutes.
