According to him, a video from the party was posted online by one of the regular visitors; his “motive was revenge.”

“The man was relaxing with us, then he got into an argument with two girls when he didn’t share a chair at the bar.

He doused them with water, for which security kicked him out of the bar.

According to this man, it was done too rudely, and he decided to be offended,” Demchenko said.

In a conversation with RT, he made it clear that he did not regret the event and did not understand what exactly outraged everyone.

On February 25, law enforcement officers conducted an inspection at the bar where the provocative party took place.
