A bomb planted under a car blew up and wounded the head of city council Vasyl Nechet in Russian-occupied Berdyansk. The vehicle likely belonged to Vasyl Nechet, the head of the occupation city council.
Acting head of the Ukrainian-led Berdyansk Military Administration, Mykola Matvienko confirmed the attack:
“They transported him to the hospital, but his current condition remains unknown,” Matvienko stated.
The Russian side has yet to comment on the incident.
Before the occupation, Nechet worked as the director of the “Naftokhimik” House of Culture. After the city’s was seized by Russian troops, he joined the Russian party “United Russia” and took the position of head of the occupation council.
The National Police of Ukraine earlier charged Nechet under Article 111-1, Part 5 of the Criminal Code for willingly assuming a position in the occupational administration. The charge carries a potential sentence of 5 to 10 years in prison, a ban on holding certain positions for 10 to 15 years, and possible confiscation of property.
