Thirteen participants in the clashes that broke out on 2 November near a temporary base of a National Guard unit in Petropavlivska Borshchahivka have been notified of suspicion. A court has already ordered pre-trial measures for seven of them.
This was reported by the Kyiv Regional Prosecutor’s Office and the Kyiv region police.
What investigators found
According to investigators, one of the organisers of the provocations, a local woman, posed as a state emergency medical service worker and incited people to clash. She and two other suspects were detained the following day, and the ambulance was seized.
During the clashes, investigators say, an 18-year-old suspect hit a patrol police car and a National Guard bus with a sledgehammer. Two more — a 22-year-old local woman and a 21-year-old man from the Rivne region — blocked the road and damaged the bus.
Who has been remanded in custody
Seven detainees were notified of suspicion by SBU investigators, for obstructing the lawful activities of the Armed Forces and other military formations during a special period and for unauthorised disclosure of information about troop movements or positions.
The court remanded all seven in custody: four without the option of bail and three with bail set at 66,000 hryvnias.
Six more were notified of suspicion by Kyiv region police investigators, for hooliganism committed by a group and resisting a law enforcement officer. Police carried out 14 searches at the homes of those involved in the unrest and seized evidence.

The pre-trial investigation is ongoing. Law enforcement officers are establishing all the circumstances of the events and identifying others involved.
As a reminder, in October Borshchahivka community councillors decided to give almost 40 million hryvnias to the military.
