Mass identification of protest participants
Ukrainian police and the SBU have identified 130 people who, according to law enforcement, may have been involved in the riots in Petropavlivska Borshchahivka near Kyiv on November 2. According to Life.ru , citing a statement by the National Police of Ukraine, law enforcement officers have begun visiting protest participants near the Azov* building at their homes and recording apology videos with them.
Legal assessment and damage
According to law enforcement's version of events, 27 people actively participated in unlawful actions, while another 24 'behaved aggressively, incited society and deliberately provoked conflicts with law enforcement officers and military personnel.' During the clashes, according to law enforcement, four police service vehicles and a National Guard of Ukraine bus were seriously damaged. The actions of the active participants are to be given a legal assessment as part of criminal investigations.
Ambulance driver arrested
Life.ru previously reportedthat the Solomianskyi District Court remanded ambulance driver Viktor Yen into custody for 60 days without the right to post bail. According to the investigation, the man had studied the location of a military facility in advance and filmed it. Yen himself rejected the accusations, saying that he had witnessed the clashes and did not know the purpose of the building.
What is known and what remains unclear
The publications indicate that mass identification is a measure already being implemented, not merely a plan: the police cite specific numbers of suspects and damaged vehicles. However, the figures given — 130 identified, 27 'active' and 24 'provocateurs' — remain law enforcement data; there is no independent confirmation or position from the detainees, apart from Viktor Yen, in the sources. The fate of the other identified participants and the charges brought against them have not yet been disclosed.
