To stop the "Our Ukraine" action "Yes to welfare! No to dictatorship!" in Volyn, unknown perpetrators on Thursday poured an "unidentified substance with a repulsive smell" on the activists' tent. This was reported on Thursday by the press service of the regional branch of the Our Ukraine bloc. \nThe action takes the form of picketing the building of the Volyn Regional State Administration and was organized by the Lutsk branch of the NGO "Our Ukraine". The Our Ukraine members took over the relay of the action from the Volyn organization of the RPR, and the picket has been ongoing since May 11. \nOn Wednesday, Judge Lolita Ivasyuta of the Lutsk City and District Court announced a decision refusing to satisfy the complaint of the Lutsk City Executive Committee regarding the restriction of the action, in particular the placement of a tent on the square opposite the Volyn Regional State Administration. The court does not see any violations of Article 39 of the Constitution of Ukraine in the conduct of the action, which regulates the exceptional grounds for restricting street actions. \nAs the head of the Lutsk branch of the NGO "Our Ukraine" Oleksandr Martyniuk put it, "We have long known that this government smells bad, that stench can be felt even from a distance, and what some hooligan did only emphasizes the justice and relevance of our action. If necessary, we will wear gas masks for a while — stables are also unpleasant to clean, but it is a necessary task. The polecats from the officials' offices sense the approach of autumn, so they defend themselves as best they can — with stench." \nAs Oleksandr Martyniuk stated in a comment to "Lutsk Investment", "we will have enough tents for a long time, even if someone pours filth on them every day." He also reported that the doused tent has been sent to the dry cleaner. In addition, Oleksandr Martyniuk claims that unknown individuals are destroying billboards with "Yes!" symbols in Volyn. According to him, a billboard of "Our Ukraine" near Lyuboml on the Kyiv-Warsaw highway was splashed with paint, and in Lutsk on Lvivska Street such a billboard was painted with fascist swastikas. \n \n
