The liberalization came after police in one ‘Red Zone’ city, Ternopil imposed 98 fines for quarantine violations

The liberalization came after police in one ‘Red Zone’ city, Ternopil imposed 98 fines for quarantine violations – on school directors, bus drivers and restaurant managers. The City Council responded by refusing to close schools, restaurants and bus service. The Council promised to pay legal fees to fight the fines. President Zelenskiy blamed the rebellion on the upcoming Oct. 25 local elections: “Ahead of local elections, they seek to please people and open up everything, allow them walking around with no masks on.”
