The French police are investigating the beating of two Ukrainian women allegedly by a Russian man because they have turned on and listened to Ukrainian music. The Embassy of Ukraine in France took the case under special investigation.

This is reported by European Pravda.

On Monday, Volodymyr Kohutiak, the Vice President of the Union of Ukrainians in France, reported that last night [September 11-12] in the municipality of Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, "two Ukrainian women were beaten up by Russians because they had been listening to Ukrainian music".

Kohutiak also published the photos of the Ukrainian women.

The local news outlet Monaco-Matin states that the victims are Alina and her mother Olena from Izium (a city in Kharkiv Oblast); they had left for France on 19 April. Izium was occupied by Russian troops at that time.

Alina said she and her mother had been strolling along the embankment and listening to Ukrainian music on a phone. At some point, they met four men.

Fucked up culture those people have. Brute force and ignorance driven by emotional appeal is all they know, at least a whole bunch of them.
