What happened in Petropavlivska Borshchahivka
On the afternoon of November 2, clashes broke out near a private house in the village of Petropavlivska Borshchahivka. Prior to this, statements were spread on social networks that people were allegedly being illegally detained and tortured there.
The National Guard later explained that the building was a temporary deployment point for the 14th Assault Regiment of the National Guard, which is part of the 1st Corps "Azov". It housed mobilized soldiers who were being prepared for deployment to training centers, as well as soldiers who had voluntarily left the unit and were waiting for further deployment.
In the evening, the situation escalated again: shots rang out near the house, people threw stones at windows, lit smoke bombs and firecrackers, and tried to overturn the bus. The National Guard Commander Oleksandr Pivnenko and the Presidentʼs Office (OP) head Kyrylo Budanov were at the scene.
The next day, Interior Minister Ivan Vyhivskyi said that one of the participants in the incident had intended to take a man from a military unit who was in AWOL. The house near which the clashes occurred was legally rented by the National Guard. The Security Service of Ukraine opened three criminal cases in connection with the clashes.
