Yesterday, January 16, at about 11 p.m., the police received a report that an unknown woman was behaving inappropriately on Maidan Nezalezhnosti and overturning portraits of fallen defenders in the war.
Patrol officers found the woman matching the description on a neighboring street. "The perpetrator turned out to be a 41-year-old resident of Rivne. She was in a state of alcoholic intoxication: the Dräger device showed 0.91 ppm," the police noted.
