The SSU has identified more than 100 individuals who participated in clashes yesterday in Petropavlivska Borshchahivka, Kyiv region. SSU Deputy Chairman Ivan Rudnytskyi said this during a media briefing.

‘The SSU and the National Police conducted comprehensive measures to establish who took part in yesterday's incident, what role they played, and on what grounds they were present. More than 100 individuals have already been identified. Searches are underway for those involved in organizing the riots. The issue of their detention and serving notices of suspicion is pending,’ emphasized the SSU Deputy Chairman.

Ivan Rudnytskyi also stated that the organizers of the riots attempted to help a draft-eligible man at a National Guard facility illegally evade mobilization. To do this, they resorted to manipulations to provoke public outrage.

‘All of their actions have been documented and suppressed. Today, the situation in Kyiv and Kyiv region is under control and calm. Further details will be released once investigative actions, searches, and the serving of notices of suspicion are completed,’ stressed Ivan Rudnytskyi.

‘We witnessed the development of negative events. We also saw extensive manipulation involving the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the National Police, and the National Guard of Ukraine. All units operating at the scene acted with maximum restraint to prevent any casualties,’ noted Minister of Internal Affairs Ivan Vyhivskyi.

As noted by the SSU Deputy Chairman, criminal proceedings have been opened into yesterday's events under Article 114-1 (obstruction of the lawful activities of the Armed Forces), 114-2 (unauthorized dissemination of information regarding the movement or placement of the Defence Forces of Ukraine), and 294 (mass riots) of the CCU. In addition, SBI investigators are conducting a separate investigation under Article 426-1.5 of the CCU (exceeding authority or official powers by a military official).

All Ukrainian law enforcement agencies are carrying out a set of measures to ensure an objective and impartial investigation into all circumstances of the crime.
