The recent robbing of passengers, traveling from Russia to Moldova
via Ukraine’s territory, by a local ultra-nationalist Insurgent Army
is a manifestation of “anarchy,” the Russian Foreign Ministry has
said.
On March 21, the train, en route from Moscow to the capital of
Moldova, Chisinau, made a scheduled stop in the city of Vinnitsa in
central Ukraine.
“To the horror of passengers…people dressed in the uniform of the
Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) got into carriages and began a
‘document check’. People who showed Russian passports were then made
to hand over their money and golden jewelry,” the Russian Ministry
said on Monday in a statement published on its website.
The robbery was accompanied with “political sensitization,” diplomats
said.
Moscow also said it was “bewildered” by the refusal of the Ukrainian
police to take any action when the victims attempted to file a
report.
“That is the kind of ‘rule of law’ that is currently being formed in
Ukraine,” the ministry said. “It seems that the anarchy of the
beginning of the 20th century is reviving.”
A similar incident occurred with passengers traveling from the
Ukrainian city of Krivoy Rog to the Russian capital, reported the NTV
channel. However, this time it was either Ukrainian border guards or
customs service officers who were involved.
According to passengers, during the border control procedure,
Ukrainian officers grabbed passports from Russian citizens providing
them with no explanation.
Passenger, Angela Piskokha, told NTV that Ukrainian officials then
offered her the opportunity to buy back her own passport for 6,000
rubles (US$ 166).
