The burned-out car of RFE/RL journalist Halyna Tereshchuk in Lviv.
KYIV - The car of an RFE/RL Ukrainian service correspondent in the western Ukrainian city of Lviv was set on fire overnight on January 29-30 — an arson attack that Deputy Interior Minister Anton Herashchenko said could have been ordered by someone.
Halyna Tereshchuk, who has been working for RFE/RL since 2000, said she suspected the attack was linked to her professional activities.
"We think the crime was ordered, that somebody hired someone to conduct it," Herashchenko told RFE/RL, adding that the police were doing "everything to find both the perpetrators and those who ordered the attack."

I wonder whose feathers were ruffled by this journalist. Pretty awful.
I gather, the journalist has a large body of work, articles written. This is interesting though, of course, it's one article and doesn't point suspicion at anyone.
Mass graves of NKVD victims found in former Dubno prison

Nineteen bodies have been found on the territory of the former prison in Dubno, Rivne Oblast. According to archival documents and past testimonies of local witnesses, about 400 people were brutally murdered by the NKVD (People’s Commissariat of Internal Affairs of the USSR) in late June 1941, just before the German troops arrived in the area. Dolia Search and Memorial Centre continues excavations at the scene of yet another horrendous crime committed by the communist regime.
The group discovered 19 bodies in a deep pit, not far from the prison wall. Among them: three women, the rest – men. Four victims were shot in the head. According to preliminary estimates of experts, the victims were not executed at close range. Various articles, such as boots, combs and buttons were found in the course of the excavation. The victims were laid out in a row, which suggests that they were not thrown hurriedly into the pits, says Olha Minenko, anthropologist at the Institute of Archaeology of the National Academy of Sciences.

So, the journalist, Halyna Tereshchuk certainly must have upset someone and the police need to look into this fully, maybe provide protection.
