"You’re not yourself when preparing for New Year": A Bolt taxi driver in Kyiv committed an unusual theft (video).

In Kyiv, a taxi driver for Bolt stole several thuja trees early in the morning from near one of the city's establishments. The incident was captured on surveillance cameras and later shared on social media.

The driver acted swiftly and professionally. He loaded the trees into his vehicle and disappeared in an unknown direction.

An unusual theft occurred in the Darnytsia district of Kyiv. Around 6:30 AM, the Bolt taxi driver approached a local establishment. He assessed the situation and decided to steal a few thuja trees that were planted in wooden pots and placed outside.

He took several trees, loaded them into his car, and fled. It is unknown whether the establishment's owners filed a police report.

It is worth noting that social media users reacted humorously to the situation, commenting that "you're not yourself when it's time to prepare for the New Year."

Recall that in the capital, a Bolt taxi driver notably refused to communicate with female clients in Ukrainian, calling the women "sick people" and kicking them out of the car. This sparked a language scandal that took an unexpected turn.

However, following this, the language scandal began to gain new momentum as Alexey Arestovich and OPZZH deputy Yuri Boyko decided to defend the taxi driver. They announced on their social media that they were ready to offer moral and financial support to the driver, as well as assist him with employment.

This statement caused public resonance, and public figure Andrey Smoliy addressed the SBU on his Facebook page, asking them to pay attention to Arestovich's statements, who referred to the enforcement of Ukrainian law as "linguistic Taliban."

As it turned out, the man was not only fired from the Bolt company but also received a summons. This became known on Friday, October 27, from a message by public figure and political expert Andrey Smoliy.

Previously, "Telegraf" reported that in Kyiv, a Uklon taxi driver decided to teach a lesson to a motorist who did not yield to him and attacked him with a metal baton. Unexpectedly, he received several strong blows in return and ended up on the asphalt.
