Opposition Bloc leader
Yuriy Boyko and Opposition Bloc member, oligarch Vadym Novinsky, who arrived in
Odesa on Monday to take part in a rally on Kulykove Pole Square, have been
forced to depart for Kyiv without leaving the city's airport, according to Zorian
Shkiriak, an adviser to Ukrainian Interior Minister Arsen Avakov.
"Boyko, Novinsky and [Opposition Bloc member, former chairman of
Naftogaz's board Yevhen] Bakulin have left Odesa. Pax Rossica supporters, who
bear personal responsibility for the May 2, 2014, tragedy, are not welcome in a
patriotic Odesa," he wrote on Facebook.
He expressed gratitude to pro-Ukrainian activists for patience,
understanding, and respect for the rule of law and cooperation with
law-enforcement agencies.
Chief of the National Police's Odesa regional department Giorgi
Lortkipanidze later wrote on Facebook that "the negotiations [with the
members of the Opposition Bloc, which is the successor of former president
Viktor Yanukovych's Regions Party] were successful, and the MPs decided to
leave Odesa."
MP from the People's Front Serhiy Vysotsky, who is also in Odesa now, said
Odesa patriots representing such organizations as Vilni Lyudy (Free People), Automaidan and Right
Sector, DIYA [Derzhavna Initsiatyva Yarosha, or the national movement "The
State Initiative of [Right Sector's former leader Dmytro] Yarosh"],
Self-Defense of Odesa's Maidan had not let some MPs from the Opposition Bloc in
Odesa.
