Former Ukrainian Central Banker's House In Flames

The house of former Ukrainian central bank chief Valeria Hontareva burned down overnight from September 16-17. Hontareva, who sent this video of the blaze to RFE/RL, reported a week earlier that her home was raided by the police. She said on September 9 she was considering requesting political asylum in the United Kingdom due to pressure on her from Ukrainian authorities.
