That morning, law enforcement officers guarding the Volyn "white house" were shocked. As soon as the weekly meeting had ended in the session hall, an elderly man approached the police post, greeted them politely, and... pulled a grenade out of a bag. It was 61-year-old Stepan Prykhodko, who had come to Lutsk from Rudka Chervynska in the Kamin-Kashyrskyi district. Later, the police stated that Grandfather Stepan had supposedly found the grenade in his own field. It is interesting why the man did not go to the Kamin-Kashyrskyi police but went straight to the regional center. By the way, people in the village say that Mr. Stepan has a difficult character; several years ago his daughter disappeared — she went to Lutsk and seemed to vanish into thin air. Prykhodko is also interested in the public life of the region and always seeks justice and truth. The head of the Research Expert Forensic Center of the UMVS in the Volyn region, Yurii Demydiuk, said that the grenade was of French manufacture from the Second World War period. It was not in combat condition and could not explode without outside interference. And Grandfather Stepan really did not know what to do with it and, following a good Ukrainian custom, went to seek the truth from the regional authorities. Here he wanted to give the found munition to a museum. Law enforcement officers neutralized the grenade the same day.
Seeking the truth, a pensioner came to the 'White House' with a grenade!
