Klymenko also reported that the chief of police of Kyiv region Andriy Rubel and the head of the Regional Military Administration Mykola Kalashnyk also met with the residents of the community where this tragic crime occurred. "The security of the country begins with security in communities. This area of work must always be under the personal control of police leaders at all levels," the minister noted.
