MIA: Entire Vertical of Kyiv Patrol Police Removed After Holosiivskyi Terrorist Attack

Minister of Internal Affairs Ihor Klymenko announced the removal from their posts of the entire vertical structure of the Kyiv Patrol Police Department. This decision follows an internal investigation into the actions of patrol officers during a terrorist attack in the Holosiivskyi district of the capital.

According to Klymenko, the personnel changes affected all levels: «from platoon commander to the head of the Kyiv City Patrol Police Department». He also noted that these might not be the final personnel decisions, and the ultimate decisions are made by the head of the National Police, who will subsequently issue an official statement.

The Minister also emphasized his requirement to appoint only individuals with combat experience to the positions of deputies for service training in each unit.
