Local police are working at the accident’s site. They are searching for the criminals.

It is not the first case, as we reported before. Unknown persons spilt Eternal Flame with cement in this park at the beginning of this month. A passer-by called the police.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov referred to the incident as a blasphemy. He has noted that the memorial’s desecration goes against all European values and UN basic principles. The diplomat has emphasized that the cases of memorials’ desecration at Ukraine were quickened, which proves inability of Ukrainian authorities to bring ultra-radicals and neo-Nazis to reason.

The square of Glory’s Park occupies more than 18 hectares. Memorial of Eternal Glory with Grave to Unknown Soldier are located at its territory. Monument to Holodomor (a man-made famine) victims was set at this square already.
