Ukrainian law enforcement has detained 13 people and served all of them with criminal charges over unrest on November 2 in Petropavlivska Borshchahivka, Kyiv Oblast. The unrest broke out outside a house in the village where National Guard servicemen were stationed, including mobilised personnel and men held for going absent without leave who were awaiting reassignment. Ukrainska Pravda reported that the crowd had been stirred up by unverified reports that men were being held and tortured inside, and that it smashed a National Guard bus. According to the Security Service of Ukraine, suspects blocked the road, damaged the bus, and incited others to damage emergency and security service vehicles, and one 18-year-old allegedly struck a patrol police car and a National Guard bus with a sledgehammer. Seven suspects face charges for obstructing the Armed Forces during a special period and for unauthorised dissemination of information about military movements under martial law, and they have been remanded in custody. Six others face hooliganism and resisting a law enforcement officer charges. One woman was detained after posing as a surgeon with a fake ID, and the SSU said she had no medical qualifications and had not been issued a doctor's ID. The SSU said those responsible face up to eight years in prison, and the investigation, which included 14 further searches, is ongoing.
