Yesterday’s events in Petropavlivska Borshchahivka are unacceptable for the state and undermine the unity of Ukrainians, especially in the face of the Russian threat. Law enforcement officers and authorized agencies are clarifying all the details in order to establish an objective and complete picture of the events, take the necessary measures to hold those responsible accountable, and prevent such incidents from happening again in the future. Right now, we are working out all the necessary decisions with the security and defense sector for an appropriate response and to prevent provocations. I call on all Ukrainians to always be guided by the interests of the nation and the state when making any decisions and resolving conflict situations
