Following an incident, the atmosphere was dominated by comments from prominent UTMA fighter Dominykas Dirkstys. Dirkstys, who is preparing for the UTMA tournament in September, is scheduled to compete against another renowned fighter, Sergejus Maslabajev. After viewing the video footage, Dirkstys expressed concern not only for the victim but also regarding the bystanders who remained passive while the girl was beaten.
This inaction reportedly angered Dirkstys. “It is a very disgusting and painful situation, but what I most cannot understand are the onlookers who stood by, filmed, and did nothing,” Dirkstys stated. He addressed the group, referring to them as a collective failure of responsibility.
“When you witness a girl being assaulted in front of you, as a man, you have a responsibility to intervene, rather than just filming the event. Yet, no one stepped forward. It was like a flock of sheep.
I urge the young people: do not be sheep.”
Dirkstys’ comments highlighted the perceived failure of witnesses to intervene during the assault. His remarks underscored a call for male accountability and intervention in situations of violence, drawing attention to the bystander effect observed in the footage.
