Protests near Kyiv due to detained men. What does “Azov” have to do with it and why did Budanov intervene?
On the evening of November 2, several dozen people gathered near one of the houses in the village of Petropavlovskaya Borshchagovka near Kiev, claiming that people were being held and tortured there. The protest escalated into clashes with the police: those gathered destroyed official vehicles and blocked a bus carrying military personnel. Even the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Kirill Budanov, who personally arrived at the scene, failed to calm the crowd. At some point, gas was sprayed in his direction.
