Crime, settling scores or a Russian trace? In Kyiv, unknown attacks made Kherson journalist Konstantin Ryzhenko, firing several shots into his chest: the medic saved his bulletproof vest.
Details of the events that took place on the evening of December 20 in the Shevchenkovsky district of the capital, informed the journalist himself on his own telegram channel.
According to Ryzhenko on the evening of Tuesday, December 20, he took the subway to the training ground (according to the journalist, he is studying with familiar security officials there, because “as time shows, now it is necessary to have the appropriate training”).
“In the darkest detection of cross marks in pharmacies, I was quickly approached by a man and two shots in the chest area.“, the reporter commented.
He also showed a photo of a plate from his armor shot through in two places.
Currently, Ryzhenko has been diagnosed with bruised ribs and soft tissues, nothing threatens his life.
According to the media worker, on the fact of the incident, he announced the initiation of a criminal case in the SBU, with the information received by the collaborator during the occupation of Kherson. The case continues pre-trial, investigators are looking for witnesses to the incident. Different versions of the motives of the attackers are considered.
“Of course, I associate this with my professional activities, and, most likely, there is a “Russian” trace here, but it can be different – under the guise of a war, sometimes it can keep accounts of small petty people“, – added Ryzhenko.
There is no information on the likelihood of an attempt on the life of a journalist on the official website of the SBU and the pages of the department in social networks.
Konstantin Ryzhenko is the editor-in-chief of the Kherson news site Kherson Newscity. During the occupation of Kherson, volunteers were invited and, by their own admission, actively collaborated with the physical resistance. In order to avoid being thrown out by the Russian special services, who were trying to find and detain the journalist, several months ago Ryzhenko evacuated under cover from the city occupied at that time to the territory of Ukraine controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Remember in the south it’s been another restless night : they report indiscriminate shelling of residents of neighborhoods and citizens working in constituencies and villages. Artillery of the Armed Forces of Ukraine continues to survive enemy targets on the left bank of the Kherson region: previously, at least three such points were covered overnight.
