Roma Attack Ruslana Pysanka in Kyiv

The actress was followed and nearly robbed.

Ukrainian actress and TV presenter Ruslana Pysanka described how someone tried to rob her.

According to the actress's words, everything happened this morning, around 6:45 a.m., at Kyiv's railway station. Pysanka says she was followed by Roma people.

"They tried to rob me. I dodged and fell right onto the roadway. Elbow smashed, scrapes, my down jacket torn, — the actress said. — They walked in a group behind me, as if glued on, falling into sync, and opened the backpack on the move. I accidentally sensed the last phase, turned around sharply, and five people were operating behind me."

Due to the sharp turn with her whole body, Pysanka lost her balance and "skidded" across the asphalt.

Everything fell out of the actress's open bag, but the pursuers, according to her, took nothing.

"By then my husband was already educating them. I'm licking my wounds. Be vigilant, people, and suspicious. Roma people pick pockets at the station, the ones who apparently don't want to be respected. Roma, don't disgrace the nation," — Ruslana Pysanka noted.

Actress Olha Sumska joined in, saying she had also been attacked in a similar way. Sumska called on the station management, police and Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko to deal with the issue.

Earlier in Kyiv, a hostel resident cut his neighbors and himself over rearranging furniture.
