Germany: Ukrainian Basketball Players Killed by More Vibrant Refugees


Artem Kozachenko was not vibrant enough to survive living in Germany

It’s hard to say whether or not it is more humiliating to get killed in the Ukraine meat-grinder or get stabbed to death by a vibrant on the streets of Germany.

Neither is really an ideal way to go.

A second Ukrainian teen refugee has died after succumbing to injuries sustained in a frenzied knife attack in the German city of Oberhausen by a migrant gang earlier this month.

Artem Kozachenko, an 18-year-old Ukrainian national, was hospitalized with multiple stab wounds after he and his teammates from a local basketball team were set upon by foreign youths on the evening of Sunday, Feb. 11, as they returned home from practice.

His friend, 17-year-old Volodymyr Yermakov, died at the scene while Kozachenko was rushed for emergency treatment. Despite initially surviving the attack, he has now died.

“Artem has been in intensive care at the hospital since the brutal attack in Oberhausen,” wrote ART Giants, the local basketball team both teens played for, on Instagram. “Unfortunately, over the past few days, his condition deteriorated so significantly that doctors could do nothing more for him,” it added.

News of the stabbings was first reported by the Kyiv Basketball Federation in a social media post on the evening of the attack, in which they claimed the young basketball players “were attacked with knives on the street just because they were Ukrainians.”

The federation added that, according to preliminary information, “the criminals are eight young people of Arab appearance.”

Were they of Arab appearance?

Or were they Arabs?

I suppose it doesn’t matter much. He’s dead either way, and we can’t punish the killers because they are our greatest strength.
