Zhytomyr

The government also plans separate funding for war risk insurance and says support for veterans, displaced people, and communities will increase.

Commuter railfares also rose in Kyiv, Zhytomyr and Chernihiv regions.

The cheapest ticket is now 30 hrivnias, while trips over 250 kilometers can cost 150.

Metinvest, meanwhile, reported a first-half net loss of $202 million, compared with $58 million a year earlier.

Zelenskyy said Ukrainian intelligence had identified four signal relay stations in Belarus in the Gomel, Brest regions.

He said those relay systems enabled Russian drone attacks against Zhytomyr, Rivne, Volyn Oblasts, and specifically connected them with attacks on western Ukrainian energy and railway.

Ukraine has been pressuring Minsk over those systems, and Zelenskyy said that by June 22, they had stopped operating, but he said he didn't know whether they had been dismantled.

But the story didn't end there.

Whilst, as regards Odessa, the local Cheka built a whole settlement for its own benefit and speedily caused to spring up there every species of establishment likely to conduce in the comfort of a citizen from a barbershop to a cinema palace.

The Cheka of Zhytomyr, again, had its own dramatic society.

And though a correspondent wrote to the Ops Cholla Diello that the drunken sailor and the small boy with belt and huge revolver are two hitherto types of Cheka employee are becoming things of the past and replaced with people's prosecutors of urbane address and legal or budding legal origin.

The change seemed more revolting, so terribly did the sleek, flashy aspect of the fellows who now held power over life and death over their fellow men clash with the universal popular impoverishment.

And this is a picture of corpses.

Corpses, Cheka of Zhytomyr, 1919.

In this camp, which is centered around an old monastery, there is rapidly falling into decay.

There is neither cooking nor heating apparatus and scarcely any drinking water.

So in their minds, pogroms are happening constantly and everywhere.

The Ukrainian government and the leaders of Ukrainian parties were evacuated to Zhytomyr, but the Jewish representatives did not follow them.

They remained under the Bolsheviks.

And in addition, the Bolsheviks in Kiev were supported by a sizable group of Jewish workers who returned from England after they, the February Revolution, and who now wholly, siding with the Soviet regime, took up the posts of commissars and officials and created a special Jewish squad of Red Guards.

39 in Kiev, mostly members of the intelligentsia, and 215 in Kharkov, the victims in the latter case being Ukrainian hostages, slaughtered in retaliation for the assassination of certain Soviet workers and others by rebels.

And similarly, the Izvestia of Zhytomyr reported shootings of 29 cooperative employees, school teachers, and agriculturalists who could not possibly have anything to do with Petlura with any pet lure conspiracy in the world everywhere too we read in bolshevist journals such communiques as five counter-revolutionary organizations covering the whole of podolia have been discovered 16 persons have been shot at chernogov and the rest hence it is no more than the truth to say that the mass of such official official printings renders individual distinction between them almost impossible Akin to the fate of the Ukraine was the fate of white Russia, where the year 1921 proved particularly prolific of reports of rebellions and of accounts of punitive expeditions dispatched to shoot, with or without trial, all who had participated or been reported as participating in those rebellions.

Dozens of persons were shot daily, a correspondent of the DLO was as stated.

In particular, were many white Russian leaders put to death.
