Near the village Ukrainian state inspectors in the Mykolaiv region stopped a citizen who was transporting firewood in the trunk of a car without any documents and fined him UAH 510.
People's deputy from "Batkivshchyna" Oleksiy Kucherenko initiated the investigation into this shocking case on his Facebook page.
He accused the eco-inspectors of inhumanity, because they don't care "what's wrong with him with gas, with electricity, with his house, with his job in the Mykolayiv region (!!!)".
In the comments to the deputy's post, experts of the State Inspection of the South-Western District, who fined the violator, explained that "taking measures against the violator, who transported wood without any documents, is in no way related to draft law No. 9665 adopted by the Verkhovna Rada on October 10."
They reminded that for this violation of environmental legislation, the citizen was brought to administrative responsibility under Part 1 of Article 65 of the Code of Administrative Offenses.
Of course, ordinary Ukrainians also expressed their opinion about this case in the comments:
The other day, EcoPolitic told that the State Bureau of Investigation revealed in the Khmelnytskyi region, foresters who illegally cut down more than 3 hectares of forest for 6.5 million hryvnias.
