In Ukraine, two women have been jailed for claiming that soldiers were being held in a basement near Kyiv. Valentyna Moloda and Tetiana Kiriieva were involved in a confrontation in Petropavlivska Borshchahivka, a village outside Kyiv, where they alleged military personnel were being unlawfully detained. Moloda, who presented herself as the owner of a private clinic "Med-Prestige," spread false information about the illegal detention, torture, and killing of people in a military unit.
She prepared a medical uniform and a car marked as an ambulance. She also organized a blockade of the unit, drawing people to the scene through social media platforms like TikTok and Telegram. Kiriieva, an acquaintance of Moloda, was believed to be the instigator of the unlawful actions, as she believed the man was being unlawfully detained by the military.
Police dismissed the reports of illegal detention, stating that the house was rented by the National Guard and used as a temporary deployment point for personnel, including mobilized men.
