The Appalling Incident

In a horrifying turn of events during a village council meeting in Ukraine, Serhiy Batrin, a 54-year-old council representative, detonated three grenades.

Disturbing footage captured the moment Batrin, visibly agitated, entered the meeting late, holding two grenades in hand. He threw them onto the floor amidst a heated discussion, causing three explosions.

Impact and Injuries

The explosions resulted in 26 injuries, six of which were severe. Victims were heard calling for medical help, expressing the extent of their injuries, including difficulty walking and severe wounds. Batrin, the perpetrator, was among the severely wounded and required resuscitation by medics following the blasts.

Political Background and Motive

Batrin, affiliated with the Servant of the People party founded by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, held a position in the village council’s law and order commission.

Reports suggest a dispute over money triggered the attack, stemming from Batrin’s opposition to the ruling faction on the council. His frustration regarding water problems in the village, particularly a large sum paid to the utility company director, was noted as a key factor.

Seeking Answers and Context

Law enforcement is investigating the incident, aiming to uncover the motive behind Batrin’s premeditated actions.

While Batrin’s long-standing opposition to the council’s ruling faction was evident, his deliberate decision to set off grenades during the argument is a cause for further scrutiny. Importantly, this act is not believed to be linked to the ongoing war in Ukraine.
