Last night in Lutsk, near his own home, the general director of the Lutsk Automobile Plant, Volodymyr Hunchyk, was beaten. He is currently in the hospital in serious condition. Law enforcement officials are not commenting on the beating for now. And the victim himself does not rule out a political subtext to the attack.

Oksana Lukashuk, journalist from Lutsk: - It became known from law enforcement officials that a criminal case has been opened on the fact of robbery. The Lutsk police are still silent about the version that caused the incident. And the victim himself puts forward several assumptions, including versions that could qualify as a political contract killing.
