Kyiv's Local Prosecutor's Office No. 7 has approved a notice of suspicion in absentia for a 23-year-old Russian citizen, who is suspected of attacking Anti-Terrorist Operation veteran and defender of Donetsk International Airport (also known as "Cyborg") Dmytro Verbych.

"It was established that the offender crossed the border with Poland. In this connection, the defendant was notified in absentia about suspicion under Part 4, Article 296 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (hooliganism committed by a group of persons using an object specially adapted and prepared in advance for inflicting bodily injury) and Part 2, Article 187 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (robbery committed by preliminary conspiracy by a group of persons)," the press service of the prosecutor's office reported on Monday, May 7.

In addition, a petition has been prepared for permission to detain him with a view to bringing him to court to select a measure of restraint in the form of detention.

As reported, a group of persons, including three men and two women, wearing masks attacked Verbych on Podil in Kyiv on the evening of May 2, 2018. He was taken to the surgery department of the regional clinical hospital.

Police determined that during the attack, which reportedly involved three men and two young women, one of the attackers struck the victim in the back with a sharp object. In addition, the attackers used pepper spray.

On May 6, SBU officers detained suspects in Kharkiv. SBU operatives documented that the organizer of the attack is a Russian citizen who left Ukraine on May 4 and is hiding in Poland.

On May 7, Kyiv's Local Prosecutor's Office No. 7 approved a notice of suspicion to a 25-year-old young woman who also participated in the attack on Verbych.

Chief of the Security Service of Ukraine Vasyl Hrytsak said that Ukraine's law enforcement agencies were doing everything possible to ensure that the Russian citizen who organized the attack on Verbych in Kyiv could be taken to Ukraine.

Head of the Main Directorate of the National Police in Kyiv Andriy Kryschenko told Interfax-Ukraine that the police had not yet established three more suspects in the attack on Verbych.
