Kireieva remanded after clashes in Petropavlivska Borshchahivka
The court ordered detention on November 4. Investigators allege obstruction of a military unit; Kireieva says she sought hospital care for an acquaintance.
Kyiv’s Solomianskyi District Court remanded Tetiana Kireieva in custody for two months on November 4, 2026, in the case concerning clashes in Petropavlivska Borshchahivka, Kyiv region. A Suspilne correspondent reported the decision from the courtroom. According to Ukrainska Pravda, citing a spokesperson for the Prosecutor General’s Office, the court ordered 60 days in custody without bail.
Suspilne reported that Kireieva is suspected of obstructing the lawful activities of Ukraine’s Armed Forces and other military formations, disseminating information about military locations and organising mass disturbances. These are investigators’ allegations, not a judicial finding of guilt.
Prosecutors allege that by October 30 Kireieva had agreed on joint action with Valentyna Moloda and shared the location of a military facility in a Telegram group. Investigators say Viktor Yena filmed the site the following day and sent the recording to Moloda. Prosecutors link their arrival on November 2 and Moloda’s calls for people to come to the building to the subsequent blocking of entrances and exits and obstruction of the unit’s work.
Kireieva denies summoning people or directing the crowd. She told the court she had arrived with two sisters to secure hospital care for a serviceman she knew, Andrii Kulieshov. She said she had approached Moloda on her sister’s advice, expecting help with medical evacuation.
Lawyer Rustam Nuriiev said he had contacted the State Bureau of Investigation and military prosecutors on October 29 after Kulieshov told him he had been beaten. The lawyer showed photographs of injuries in court and alleged that the serviceman subsequently suffered further injuries. These defence allegations require investigation. Suspilne reported on November 3 that the bureau had opened proceedings into possible abuse of authority by military officials and was examining the conditions in which servicemen stayed in the house and reports of possible coercion.
The clashes took place on November 2 outside a house that the National Guard’s First Azov Corps said was being used as temporary accommodation for a military unit. People gathered following reports alleging unlawful confinement and torture of men. National Guard commander Oleksandr Pivnenko reported that four servicemen had been taken to hospital. The corps said those responsible would be punished if unlawful violence was confirmed.
The investigation continued after the decision concerning Kireieva. Moloda was also remanded for 60 days without bail on November 4; on November 5, the same measure was ordered for Viktor Yena, whom investigators identify as the driver of the ambulance vehicle. That day, the National Police said it and the Security Service of Ukraine had identified 130 people who might be involved in the disturbances. That figure does not mean all of them have been formally notified of suspicion. Police said four police vehicles and a National Guard bus were significantly damaged during the events.
