Ukrainian Interior Minister Arsen Avakov has announced that representatives of the Right Sector ultra-nationalistic movement left the Dnipro hotel, located in the center of Kyiv, without their weapons on Tuesday morning.

"Right Sector vacated the Dnipro hotel unarmed. They got on their buses and headed to one of the camp outside of the city escorted by officers of the Ukrainian Security Service. Interior Ministry experts have already started to examine the vacated building," Avakov said on his Facebook page.

On March 31, a Right Sector member went on a shooting spree near the Dnipro hotel, wounding three people, among them Kyiv city administration deputy head Bohdan Dubas. The suspect was subsequently detained and placed in the Ukrainian Security Service's pre-trial detention center.

In response to the incident, police special operations units encircled the Right Sector's headquarters, based at the Dnipro hotel.
