Law enforcement detains 2 female suspects linked to clashes near Kyiv, media reports
The suspects have been accused of obstructing lawful military activities, disclosing the location of military facilities without authorization, and spreading false information.
On November 4, Ukrainian authorities detained two female suspects in connection with the Nov. 2 clashes in Petropavlivska Borshchahivka, a village near Kyiv. Valentyna Moloda and Tetiana Kiriieva are accused of organizing the unrest and spreading false information about illegal detainment and torture at a National Guard facility.
Moloda, who posed as a paramedic, was the first to arrive at the scene and was held in custody for two months. Kiriieva allegedly used social media to spread misleading information about alleged crimes inside the military unit. Both women were accused of obstructing the Armed Forces' lawful activities and spreading unauthorized information about the location of the military.
The clashes began when civilians confronted National Guard troops at a house used as a transit point for mobilized men. As protesters broke through a brick wall and threw eggs at the authorities, tear gas and gunfire erupted. The incident, which may have been planned with Russian involvement, has prompted a wide investigation by the Security Service of Ukraine.
