The young people denied the accusations, saying that they are residents of the Poltava region, and not visiting participants, who destabilized the situation around the arrival of Ukrainian citizens evacuated from China.
Earlier, Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky, commenting on the riots in Novy Sanzhary, said that “virologists in tracksuits” deliberately and deliberately sowed panic among people, stressing that “customers and organizers” of this would be held responsible.
On February 20, Ukraine evacuated 45 of its citizens and 27 foreigners from China.
