Armed men are holding about 40 people in a basement in the village of Petropavlovskaia Borshchagovka, near Kyiv. It is reported that people are being tortured, apparently one person is already dead, four are in serious condition, one has a broken spine. Doctors cannot enter the area, as the facility has suddenly become military. One woman claims that her boyfriend, who has defected, is being held in the basement and demands money for his release. Tension rises instead. According to reports, a man who tried to climb a fence to get inside suffered a serious head injury, and a fight broke out when two men, one wearing a mask, tried to escape the building and a crowd tried to stop them. The police are there, but people accuse them of inaction.
