In Zhytomyr region, unknown people set fire to agricultural machinery at the enterprise of the UAC participant of "Serhii-S" AE. At night of November 11, an employee of the enterprise saw that the company's truck was on fire and managed to put it out.
Almost immediately, the Chairman Serhii Vakhnyuk, who was informed about the situation, noticed another fire - a combine, which was located at a completely different address, was burning. Surveillance cameras revealed that it was an arson. A bottle with flammable liquid was also found at the place of the event.
“As a result of fire (that broke out in two different locations almost simultaneously) the interval between fires was about 10-20 minutes. The combine is destroyed and the truck is damaged, causing about UAH3.5 million and the farm’s activity is completely stopped, because at that moment, it is impossible to harvest,” is mentioned in the farm's appeal to the UAC.
Moreover, the company assures that arsons are systematic over the past two years. During this time, fires broke out, destroying harvested animal feed. However, despite the fact that firefighters in all cases established the fact of arson, the violators have not yet been punished.
