A village councillor in western Ukraine has thrown grenades
on to the floor of a council meeting, wounding 26 people,
police say.

The attack took place on Friday morning at the village
council headquarters in Keretsky in the western
Transcarpathian region.

Police have not yet commented on a possible motive for
the attack, which has left six seriously wounded.

The meeting was being livestreamed on Facebook when the
incident took place.

Councillors had been holding a heated discussion about
their budget for 2024 as well as this year's financial
results and holding a vote on awarding the council
chief a bonus.

Almost 90 minutes into the meeting, the footage shows one
of the village councillors shouting, objecting to the
budget. The man, wearing a dark jacket, then leaves the
room, taking another man with him.

A few minutes later he returns and stands in front of the
door. Shortly afterwards he takes several grenades out of
his jacket pockets.

. . .

Yep, casually tossed three grenades into the meeting room.

DailyMail has pix/video.

I'm not entirely sure what KIND of grenades they were.
If they'd been standard anti-personel frag grenades
then I don't think anyone in the room would have
survived ... too many, small space. However, at such
close range, serious damage WAS done - including to
the perp.

All over a petty budget dispute.

SURE you want Ukraine in the EU ? :-)
