SSU and National Police serve suspicion notice to author of scandalous video from Kyiv railway station who praised russian attacks on Ukraine

Following an investigation by the SSU and the National Police, a tiktoker who filmed a provocative stream on 7 October this year at Kyiv Railway Station is suspected of justifying russia’s armed aggression.

In her video, filmed during an air raid alert, the woman stated that by striking on Ukrainian peaceful cities ‘the russians are fighting back against the Ukrainians’. She also mocked the citizens who were going down to the shelters.

The SSU and the National Police identified her immediately after the video was published.

Now, after independent examinations confirmed the elements of a crime in the perpetrator’s statements, SSU investigators served her a notice of suspicion under Article 436-2.2, 436-2.3 of the CCU (justification, recognition as legitimate, denial of russia’s armed aggression against Ukraine, glorification of its participants, committed repeatedly).

According to the investigation, the provocative video was posted by a 23-year-old native of Makiivka, Donetsk region, who moved to Kyiv a few months ago.

She used her TikTok account to glorify the occupiers, including the mercenaries of the russian PMC Wagner.

The author of the footage also publicly denied the war crimes committed by ruscists during the temporary occupation of Kyiv region.

The video from the railway station was quickly picked up by russian propagandists, who spun it in the kremlin’s media.

During the searches, a mobile phone with evidence of subversive activities against Ukraine was seized from the detainee.

The suspect faces up to 8 years in prison with confiscation of property.

The operation was carried out by the SSU Office in Kyiv and Kyiv region under the procedural supervision of Kyiv City Prosecutor’s Office.
