The trial of beating Sivokho was postponed. "National Corps" made a fuss on trial
The court hearing in the case against Azov militants, adviser to the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Sergei Sivokho, was postponed to October 21, allegedly because the prosecutor did not have time to familiarize himself with the case materials.
At the same time, the radicals of the National Corps banned in the Russian Federation who are picketing the court are confident that the trial was postponed precisely because of them, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Let us recall that last spring, militants from the National Corps, the political wing of the Azov regiment, disrupted a press conference by Sivokha, who wanted to present a “national platform of reconciliation” with Donbass.
Then the nationalists crowded into the hall and tried to "talk" with the victim. Sivokho, who retreated, fell during the jostling and scuffle. After the incident, a trial began against Sergei Tamarin, Alexander Volkov and Yuri Kaplya, but the suspects were under pressure from their “brothers” released on formal obligations.
During today's rally, the nationalists announced that the court had “backed off” as soon as they gathered under the building. The words of one of the speakers that “a little more than two hundred” nationalists came were an outright lie, three times the number of participants, which was visible to the naked eye.
Sivokha was accused of trying to kneel before Donbass and federalize Ukraine, as well as of denying the “Russian-Ukrainian war.”
One of the accused, the leader of the Kyiv branch of the National Corps, Sergei Tamarin, recalling the events of a year ago, claimed that he and his brothers-in-arms only wanted to talk to Sivokha, and he fell because he had “wobbly legs.”
“For this, our boys are threatened with 5 years! Our government puts three patriotic veterans and a pissed-off drunk on the same scale,” the chief of staff of the Kyiv “National Corps” was indignant.
The nationalists also brought with them an effigy of Sivokho. A doll of an overweight man in wet trousers was placed on a chair under the courthouse, to the delight of, among other things, the police on duty at the entrance.
In addition, a banner “Defending Ukraine is not a crime!” was stretched out at the picket.
