Solomyanskyi District Court of Kyiv has ordered that Valentyna Moloda—a figure in a case involving clashes near a building in Petropavlivska Borschahivka, Kyiv region, on November 2—be remanded in custody for 60 days without the possibility of bail, reports Suspilne from the courtroom on Wednesday.
A court in Kyiv has decided to keep Valentyna Moloda in custody for 60 days without the chance of posting bail, according to Suspilne. The decision comes as part of an investigation into clashes near a building in Petropavlivska Borschahivka, Kyiv region, on November 2. Moloda was informed of suspicion on November 3 and faces charges of interfering with the lawful activities of Ukraine's Armed Forces and related military units, as well as spreading information about the whereabouts of military personnel and organizing mass unrest, as per prosecutor Maryna Hrushevska.
The prosecution claims that Moloda conspired with others in the case. They allege she encouraged people to go to the building where military personnel were present and even offered emergency evacuation services, charging UAH 107,000 to help individuals leave Territorial Recruitment Centers or military units. Moloda maintained she was unaware of the building's military significance, saying she had been summoned by a woman concerned her husband was being held against his will and tortured. She also denied gathering a crowd or inciting unrest.
The defense argued for an alternative to custodial detention, highlighting that Moloda is the sole guardian of an 11-year-old daughter.
