A group of people were detained on suspicion of planning a coup in Kyiv, according to the Ukrainian Prosecutor General’s Office.
A post on the Prosecutor General’s official Telegram page on Monday said police “exposed a group of pseudo-activists who were preparing provocations” in the country’s capital on June 30.
Four citizens were charged by local prosecutors over distribution of materials calling for violent overthrow of Ukraine’s government and constitutional order, the post said. Two individuals were remanded in custody.
Investigators said that between May and June, a group of people disseminated posts online discrediting Ukraine’s current leadership and pushing for a seize of state power.
