- Investigators are examining possible planning and outside influence.

## Summary

Two women have been detained without bail over a clash between civilians and Ukraine’s National Guard in Petropavlivska Borshchahivka, near Kyiv. Authorities suspect the women helped organise the confrontation, which matters because investigators are examining whether it was a planned provocation and information operation.

The clash took place on 2 November at a National Guard transit site for mobilised men, after unverified claims spread online that people there were being unlawfully detained, tortured or killed. Prosecutors accuse Valentyna Moloda of obstructing the Armed Forces and sharing unauthorised information about military locations; Tetiana Kiriieva is accused of spreading false claims, and investigators say the pair agreed to act together. A crowd threw eggs and broke through a wall before the National Guard used tear gas and fired into the air; Ukraine’s Security Service said it had identified about 100 active participants.
