Volunteers who knit nets for the Armed Forces are expelled in Lviv: the People's Deputy (video) stood for them

Without adequate explanations, they ordered to be taken away by August 1," said Sofia Fedina, a MP from the European Solidarity Party on his Facebook page on August 14. She specified that volunteers worked in the "room" of the hostel of the Lviv College of Food Technology. The Oberig Volunteer Group reported that they were forced to temporarily stop work, as they are forced to release the hostel by August 30.

"We have been working since January 11, 2023 and the need for masking has not decreased for the military today,"-said volunteer Irina Galvitskaya-Fedoruk. The NUHT College of Food and Processing Industry stated that they value volunteers, but are obliged to comply with the requirements of legislation, fire safety standards and sanitary rules. "Volunteers have been in a dormitory without concluded contracts and without official approval with the administration of the institution.

The found materials for the manufacture of nets contain synthetic components that, when stored and used indoors, can adversely affect the health of residents. This is confirmed by the requirements of the institution. The college explained that the administration is forced to stop "unauthorized stay of outsiders" in the hostel to "eliminate the potential threat" to the health of students and persons with IDPs who live there.

At the same time, the post states that the educational institution is ready to "consider further cooperation in other premises" according to the requirements and permits. The Ukrainians in the comments criticized such an explanation, emphasizing the importance of camouflage nets for the front and reminding that for a long time the activity of volunteers did not pose a threat for unknown reasons.

Fedina accused the administration that they did not even try to talk to the volunteers and expelled from a small room instead. She critically criticized the commandant who refused to communicate with her. Galvytska-Fedoruk also commented on the college's publication, assuring that the material from which volunteers make nets is safe and not flammable. "It is used in medicine, and it does not affect the health of people," the volunteer emphasized.

The mayor of the city Andrey Sadovy did not respond to the scandal at the time of the material. We will remind, on August 13 in Kiev there was a conflict between a 55-year-old locals and military. The defenders made him remarks about Russian music, after which they heard the slogan "Glory of Russia" and obscene swearing. The man even demonstrated his foot from the window, having shook her in front of one of the fighters who lost his limb on the front.
