The court has chosen a preventive measure for the organizer of the event with a weapons exhibition, during which a Russian missile struck the Kyiv region on July 24. This is reported by a journalist from UNN from the courtroom.

Details

The prosecutor's office requested that the suspect, Vasyl Honcharuk, be placed in custody without the possibility of bail. The court granted this motion and ordered the suspect to be taken into custody for a period of two months without the possibility of bail.

After the court's decision was announced, Vasyl Honcharuk and his lawyers declined to comment.

Before the decision was announced, the suspect stated his willingness to cooperate with the investigation and asked the court to impose house arrest.

Let us remind you

After the Russian missile strike on the event with a weapons exhibition near Kyiv, two criminal proceedings were initiated.

The main organizer of the event, where people died as a result of a Russian ballistic missile strike, and which was organized by one of the gunsmiths' associations without any coordination with the military command, military administrations, or authorized bodies, was detained and notified of suspicion. A separate legal assessment will be given to the actions or inaction of all responsible officials.

The Russian ballistic missile strike on the Kyiv region claimed the lives of 11 people, with reports of about a hundred injured.

According to the investigation, one of the gunsmiths' associations, without any coordination with the military command, regional and district military administrations, as well as other authorized bodies, organized a large-scale event involving military personnel, representatives of state bodies, international partners, and businesses. The program included, in particular, a demonstration of air defense systems. More than 300 people were invited to the open location. The nearest shelter, with an area of only 34 square meters, was located approximately 100 meters from the event site.
