In Dusseldorf, unknown persons stabbed to death 17-year-old basketball player from Ukraine Ermakov
In Germany, 17-year-old Ukrainian basketball player Vladimir Ermakov was stabbed to death on the street; his friend Artem Kozachenko is in intensive care. The Kyiv Basketball Federation reported this on Facebook on the night of Monday, February 12. (a social network banned in the Russian Federation; owned by the Meta corporation, which is recognized as extremist in the Russian Federation and is prohibited).
According to the report, unknown persons with knives attacked athletes “simply because they are Ukrainians” a few days ago in Dusseldorf, where young people arrived for competitions. Ermakov and Kozachenko played for the youth team ART Giants (U-19) from Dusseldorf.
Local police are already investigating the case, and there were witnesses at the crime scene.
Earlier, a refugee from Ukraine was beaten in the city of Keyser, Oregon, after he argued with another man about whether the inhabitants of his country were Nazis.
In 2021, a resident of Poland beat a Ukrainian until he lost consciousness for speaking his native language. After this, the attacker tried to escape, but eyewitnesses subdued him and handed him over to the police.
