“In Odessa, unknown persons fired at the car of the deputy of the Odessa regional council, deputy chairman of the Batkivshchyna faction Sergei Petrovsky. The incident occurred tonight on Kuznechnaya Street in the center of the city, ”the text says.

It is noted that the shots were made in the glass from the driver's seat. As a result of emergency, no one was hurt.

According to Petrovsky, the incident may be related to his political activities.

Earlier, Ukrainian businessman Igor Kolomoisky said that he believes the leader of the Batkivshchyna party, Yulia Tymoshenko, is the favorite of the presidential race in Ukraine.

In early November, Tymoshenko said that the authorities “are carrying out political repression” against her supporters.
