Как сообщает from the courtroom of the Kiev online newspaper “Strana”, the situation escalated after Kokhanivsky’s associates did not allow the police to take the detainee to the pre-trial detention center.
At approximately XNUMX a.m., police began storming the courtroom, using stun grenades and tear gas.
In turn, the militants blocked the entrance to the courtroom with piles of furniture and resisted the police.
Then Kochnivsky's supporters began to break the windows, broke down the bars and climbed out.
The militants also attempted to break the gate to the courtyard, to which the police responded with batons.
At present, the court actually remains under the control of the militants, whom Verkhovna Rada deputies Igor Mosiychuk and Igor Lutsenko came to support.
