KYIV, July 19 – The Security Service of Ukraine has launched an investigation into the "garbage blockade" of Lviv, which began with the arson of the city garbage dump in May 2016 and lasted more than a year, said Lviv Mayor Andriy Sadovy.

"I'm surprised, but the SBU started working. If this case is investigated, it will be a great respect for the city's public and the law. I think it will be necessary to prepare a lot of cells in Ukrainian prisons, because it was an attempt to create an environmental catastrophe in the city," noted Sadovy in the air of the Right to Power (Pravo na Vladu) talk show, the press service of the Samopomich party said on Friday.
