      The attackers destroyed a minibus parked near the office and smashed the building’s windows with stones on August 3.

      The attackers said they were representing the Ukrainian right-wing nationalist group Right Sector and an organization called Public Guard.

      They said they gathered at the site to protest against the Opposition Bloc’s participation in local elections in October and attacked the building after Dobkin’s people started shooting at them with firearms, wounding one activist.

      Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, is only about 20 kilometers from the Russian border.
