The head of the Volyn militia, Lieutenant Colonel Mykhailo Lebid, after returning from Kyiv, addressed journalists: "I have a request for the mass media: to figure out who is behind what is happening today around the Volyn militia and me personally? Especially since the situation looks not only like a reprisal," the Western Information Corporation was told at the Central Public Relations Service of the UMVS of Ukraine in the Volyn region.\n\nMykhailo Lebid continued: "Here they are throwing mud at all law enforcement officers of Volyn, and this is a 4,000-strong team that is currently working and producing real results. The consequences of their activity have been felt not only by Volyn residents but also by guests of our region. It seems someone needs negativity to push out the positive.\n\nSecondly, today I learned that some Kyiv media outlets have published reports about my involvement in contraband supplies of cars into the territory of Ukraine, the so-called 'Volyn Klondike.' Therefore I ask the Security Service of Ukraine and the Prosecutor General of Ukraine, if they possess such information, to make it public in the media. After all, this is already an accusation against me as the head of the Volyn militia, not only by certain local-level officials but also by representatives of Kyiv circles who had quite good profits from the 'Volyn Klondike.'\n\nThirdly, I appeal to the President of Ukraine, as the guarantor of the Constitution and of ensuring the rights of every citizen, with a request to assess the information he possesses regarding the activity of the Volyn militia. It is not entirely correct. In reality we have quite positive developments in the activity of law enforcement agencies. Of course, they are not comprehensive, but they are effective."\n\n\nRead also:\n\nMykhailo Lebid went on vacation, not resigned\n\nWill Yushchenko dismiss the chief militiaman of Volyn?\n\nLUTSENKO WILL DISMISS SIX CHIEFS.
