Kyiv's Sviatoshynskyi District Court has ordered the organizer of a defense industry exhibition in the Kyiv region, which was struck by Russia last week, to be held in pre-trial detention for 60 days.
The Office of the Prosecutor General announced the decision on Telegram, Ukrinform reports.
"Upon a motion by the Kyiv Regional Prosecutor's Office, the Sviatoshynskyi District Court of Kyiv imposed a preventive measure on the organizer of the event, who is suspected of committing a criminal offense under Part 3, Article 367 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. The court ordered that the suspect be held in custody without the possibility of bail," the statement said.
As previously reported, as of the first half of Monday, July 27, the death toll from the Russian strike on the weapons exhibition in the Kyiv region on July 24 had risen to 11.
President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that the weapons exhibition should never have taken place, stressing that, given an enemy such as Russia, it is unacceptable to hold weapons exhibitions attended by large crowds and located near residential buildings.
