Appeal to SBU regarding MP's Zaluzhnyi statements, Poland's proposal to unblock border: highlights for November 27

Appeal to the SBU regarding Bezuhla's statements

Yuriy Hudymenko, one of the leaders of the Democratic Ax party and a serviceman, will appeal to the Security Service of Ukraine over statements made by MP from the Servant of the People party Maryana Bezuhla. Earlier, she called on the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Valerii Zaluzhnyi, to resign.

In a statement, Hudymenko said that Bezuhla's post "poses a threat to the national security of Ukraine and can be used by Russian propaganda to spread Russian narratives among international partners."

Subsequently, the Verkhovna Rada proposed to dismiss Bezuhla from the post of deputy chair of the parliamentary National Security and Defense Committee.

Poland's proposals on the border blockade

Polish Minister of Infrastructure Andrzej Adamczyk sent a letter to his Ukrainian counterpart calling for the demands of Polish protesters to be met.

In particular, his ministry is demanding that the mandatory registration in the electronic queue for trucks returning to the European Union without cargo be canceled. This should be done at at least two checkpoints: "Zosyn-Ustyluh and Nyzhankovychi-Malhowice, Adamczyk said.

Inclemency continues in Ukraine

As of this morning, 2019 settlements in 16 regions of Ukraine were without power as a result of the bad weather. Squally winds, snow and blizzard were recorded in these regions. The Ministry of Energy claimed that the most difficult situation was in Odesa, Mykolaiv, and Kyiv regions.

In Odesa, a high wind caused an accident at one of the district's high-capacity boiler houses, and a pipe over 100 meters high fell. As a result of the accident, 246 apartment buildings were left without heating - 120,000 people in total. In addition, 25 educational and medical institutions are without heating.

Strong wind gusts in Kyiv also damaged the cloth of Ukraine's largest flag, despite the fact that it had been lowered the day before the weather conditions deteriorated. The Kyiv City State Administration noted that the damaged flag would be removed from the flagpole. It was later replaced with a new one.

The State Agency for Infrastructure Restoration and Development noted that despite the cessation of heavy snowfall as of the evening of November 27, the situation on the roads in some regions was still difficult. Experts continue to deal with the consequences of the weather.
