Employees of social facility services in Kiev have restored gasification of the
vandalized Eternal Flame monument, RIA Novosti informs.
Vandals spilt the cement on the Eternal Flame in the Park of Glory. Memory to WWII fallen fighters was desecrated in the early hours of 20th of November. This happened for the second time within the current month.
Unidentified criminals quenched the Eternal Flame in this park at the beginning of November. A passer-by called the police that time.
As per Kievgas, the company cleaned off the memorial and installed a video surveillance on the place when the incident happened for the first time. Now this recording was passed over to police who are investigating the case.
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 became more frequent, 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 the Grave to Unknown Soldier is located at its territory. Monument to Holodomor (a man-made famine) victims was set at this square already.
