Inter claims that several people from the group of attackers (there were about 20 masked people) were detained by representatives of the Ukrainian internal affairs bodies.
The press service of the television company stated that the damage to property was considered another provocation and attempt to put pressure on them.
In turn, the capital's police opened a case into the attack on Inter.
“The thugs threw stones at the TV channel building, as a result of which they damaged the glass windows of the entrance area on the 1st floor, and left inscriptions on the wall. On this fact, criminal proceedings have been opened under Article 296 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (hooliganism),” says the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Law enforcement officers confirmed that several citizens were taken to the Shevchenko regional department. “After the citizens provided explanations about today's events, they were released. Measures are being taken to identify those involved in the commission of this criminal crime,” law enforcement officers said.

The head of the National Security and Defense Council, Alexander Turchynov, called Inter’s New Year’s night broadcast “a mockery of the entire country.” The Minister of Culture of Ukraine Vyacheslav Kirilenko called for “cutting off the Inter button.” Minister of Information of Ukraine Yuriy Stets initiates a ban on the appearance in Ukrainian media of persons who are prohibited from entering Ukraine.
