What did the UCP decide?
Under the procedural guidance of the Prosecutor General's Office, the citizen was notified of suspicion of high treason and attempted murder of a well-known volunteer (Part 2 of Article 111, Article 15, Subparagraphs 6, 11, 12, Part 2 of Article 115 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine), the department said in a statement.
In addition, it is reported that on May 2, the Shevchenkivskyi District Court of Kyiv will consider a petition to impose a preventive measure on the suspect.
As journalists managed to find out, Sternenko's attacker was born in 1979, originally from the Odessa region, but was registered and lived in Kyiv.
She rented an apartment in a residential complex in Kyiv where a public activist lives, and conducted visual surveillance of him.
She received the money for the assassination attempt from the Russian special services into her bank accounts.
Not today, you damned Russians. Not today. I'll dance on your graves again! — commented on the attempt on his life Serhiy Sternenko himself.
He is currently in the hospital because he was injured.
11 years ago we defended Odessa. The Russians' plans to create the "ONR" were destroyed. The villains are still raging because of this. They wanted to carry out yesterday's attempt just before this date. But they lost then. They will lose now. Glory to the people of Odessa and our Kharkiv friends! Glory to Ukraine! — added the activist.
