Head of Rivne Regional State Administration Vitaliy Chuhunnikov has appealed to Interior Minister Arsen Avakov with the request to bring the National Guard to the northern areas of the region and stop illegal amber extraction, the press service of the Bloc of Petro Poroshenko has said.
“Head of Rivne Regional State Administration Vitaliy Chuhunnikov has
officially appealed to Interior Minister Arsen Avakov with the request
to bring the additional units of the National Guard to the northern
areas of Rivne region to stop illegal amber extraction and reduce
criminality in the region,” reads the report.
The Bloc of Petro Poroshenko emphasizes that virtually at every
meeting with the heads of law enforcement agencies Chuhunnikov notes the
need for a more active fight of law enforcers against illegal diggers.
Mobile raids are carried out in the northern parts of the region on
the initiative of the regional administration head and the decision of
the regional defense council.
“Although these raids show some results, the recently released video
footage and evidence suggests a lack of effectiveness,” reads the
report.
