Law enforcement officers in two Ukrainian towns have been authorized to shoot looters “on the spot,” the mayors have announced.
A significant number of looting incidents have been reported across the country since the beginning of Russia’s military operation. Zhytomyr’s mayor Sergey Sukhomlyn in a Facebook video address mentioned an attempted robbery of a store in one area of the city.
“I am warning everyone: the police, the National Guard, the territorial defense units – they all received orders not to detain, they can just shoot on the spot. There will be no looting in the city,” Sukhomlyn said on Sunday.
The following day, the head of Okhtyrka territorial community Pavel Kuzmenko issued a similar warning. Saying that looting had spread in the town’s “private sector,” he called on people to immediately report any suspicious incidents.
“Looting results in shooting on the spot“, Kuzmenko said in his Facebook video.
He also underlined that store owners increasing food prices would also be considered looting.
