When a blaze in Ukraine’s Kherson region destroyed more than 600 hectares of Oleshky Forest last May, Kateryna Gandziuk stated: it’s being burned on purpose to sell its wood. In November Gadziuk – an activist and advisor to the mayor of Kherson – died, four months after suffering an acid attack that left serious injuries on her body. The prosecution then stated that her outspokenness about the fire was likely the reason she was attacked.
