Athletic men take generator from EuroMaidan activists in Kharkiv
Kharkiv. Dec 6 (Interfax) - Unknown individuals stole an electric power generator from EuroMaidan activists in Kharkiv, where it was brought to be stored for the night, on Thursday evening.
"The car carrying sound equipment and other EuroMaidan equipment was approached by an automobile, a Gazel model, whose license plate was so dirty that the number could not be identified. Eight athletic men got out of it and came running up to the guys who were unloading the car, threatening and pushing them. They got into our vehicle, took out a power generator, which the EuroMaidan had rented, put it in their Gazel, and quickly left," Dmitry Pilipets, an initiator of the Kharkiv EuroMaidan, said.
The men were not detained and the police only arrived an hour after being called, he said.
"They have now arrived and they are questioning witnesses. But they are unlikely to find anyone. I'm sure it was all agreed upon with the police," Pilipets said.
Pilipets also said that the EuroMaidan will be held in Kharkiv near the Shevchenko monument at 6:00 p.m. on Friday, as was initially planned.
