Activists were injured at an illegal construction site on Volgogradskaya Street.

Volgograd developmentOn the night of March 19-20, 2015, a shooting occurred at the notorious development at 25 Volgogradskaya Street in Kyiv's Solomensky District, resulting in two gunshot wounds. This was reported by UNN, citing the press service of the Ukrainian Communist Party (KUPR).

 

Construction site security reportedly used tear gas and non-lethal firearms against residents. The firearms and gas were used by security guards after hundreds of local residents and community activists began breaking down the construction fence. It is also reported that Ministry of Internal Affairs officers who arrived at the scene failed to intervene or detain those who used the weapons.

 

It is known that on March 19, the developer destroyed several trees to prepare the construction site at 25 Volgogradskaya Street. That evening, about fifty residents of neighboring houses gathered around the construction fence, outraged by the developer's audacity, and decided to tear it down.

 

As a reminder, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko recently visited the construction site and promised to halt construction until an agreement was reached with the public.

 

Serhiy Melnichenko, coordinator of the KUPR organization, reported on his Facebook page that "diplomatic means" failed to resolve the issue with the developer. The Solomyansky district police chief and Kyiv's chief of police arrived at the scene of the clash. However, no measures were taken to apprehend the perpetrators who fired shots at people, and the perpetrators remain unidentified.

 

According to public sources, the Kyiv City Council allocated a plot of land at 25 Volgogradska Street to Vagra LLC, which intends to build a high-rise building there, contrary to its intended use and building codes. Vagra is owned by Kyiv resident Abdullaev Vagif Gamza Ogly. This company is known to have built the Dacha restaurant on the site of a public restroom in a green area on Rusanovskaya Embankment, despite protests from local residents and the lack of permits.
