In Kyiv, law enforcement apprehended another «blogger» who filmed provocative videos while pretending to be a police officer. During a review of social media, several videos were discovered featuring a man in police uniform «patrolling» the city and simulating document checks.

Detectives from the Desnyansky police department quickly identified the impersonator as a 22-year-old local resident.

The police charged the young man with administrative responsibility under Article 184-3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses – illegal use of symbols of the National Police. The penalty for this offense could be up to 34,000 hryvnias.

Kyiv police reiterates the ban on using police uniforms and symbols! Those who violate this law will face consequences under current legislation.
