In 2015, Petro Ivanov (an investigative journalist and activist in Ladyzhyn city in Ukraine’s Vinnytsya region) received an anonymous call from someone claiming they had information to share on local election fraud. When Ivanov went to meet the caller at the designated meeting spot, two men physically assaulted him. There were two more cases later that year concerning the same two male attackers, each of the victims being leaders of the Ukrainian agribusiness company Myronivsky Hliboproduct PJSC, commonly known as MHP.  That year, MHP was expanding its industrial poultry business in four regions in Ukraine. Communities in those regions were uninformed about the impacts of MHP poultry rearing zones and supportive infrastructure on the local environment, public health and water resources. Members of the communities felt the company was pressuring local residents, especially the elderly, to lease their lands to MHP.
