About 300 unidentified people stormed the printing plant “Ukraine,” which is responsible for printing ballots for the upcoming Ukrainian presidential runoff election. A group of plant defenders, including parliament members, was besieged in the director’s office. Reportedly, the attackers, armed with clubs and crow bars, were headed by governmental official Volodymyr Rudyk. Earlier the “Party of Regions,” headed by presidential candidate Viktor Yanukovych, accused rival candidate Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko of planning to install a new plant director who would print 1.5 mln falsified ballots. After intervention of President Yushchenko the army was commissionned to guard the plant. Criminal proceedings were instituted.
