Ukraine’s President Petro Poroshenko has called on the heads of law enforcement and security agencies to find and punish the perpetrators of the tragedy in Kalynivka, Vinnytsia region, the president’s press service reported.

“We need to learn how to protect our strategic facilities from subversive groups. Are there other versions? Then we will hold those [found guilty] under other versions liable,” Porshenko said addressing heads of the Prosecutor General’s Office, the Security Service of Ukraine and the National Police.

In addition, the head of state briefed the participants of the ‘military cabinet’ about the order issued earlier on Sept. 27 to step up the protection of strategic facilities by the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
