Ukrainian authorities block memorial for Odessa Massacre
Destroyed houses in Irpin, on the outskirts of Kiev, Ukraine, Saturday, April 30, 2022
UKRAINIAN authorities imposed a curfew in the eastern city of Odessa today, with citizens banned from leaving their homes to mark Moday’s anniversary of a fire in 2014 that killed more than 40 people.
“Obviously, this decision of the authorities is due to the fact that May 2 is a very important date for the inhabitants of Odessa,” the Repression of the Left Telegram channel said.
On that day, a least 48 trade unionists were burned alive as they took shelter from supporters of the US-backed Maidan coup, while police were filmed firing their guns into the trade union building.
