Law enforcement officers detained four more “most active” participants in the conflict with the military of the TRC in Lviv

Law enforcement officers have detained four more men suspected of attacking military personnel during a conflict between the TRC and a group of civilians in Lviv that occurred on the evening of July 8.

This was reported by the Prosecutor Generalʼs Office and the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU).

Among those detained are a 21-year-old and a 45-year-old Lviv resident, the latter of whom began to scratch and insult a TRC serviceman, and then tried to tear off his military uniform. Two more detainees are 28-year-old servicemen, one of whom left the military unit without permission.

SBU writes that the men were the most active participants in the conflict: they blocked the movement of the service car of the TRC servicemen, jumped on it and damaged it. They are being charged with obstructing the activities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and unauthorized abandonment of the unit.
