Lutsenko said that eight attackers had been identified and subsequently detained by law enforcers. He also noted that the investigation was underway to "establish an organizer of the attack and the source of "titushky"'s financing.

In addition, the Prosecutor General's Office launched an investigation into possible cooperation between local police forces and street thugs involved in the attack.

"Yesterday, eight "titushky" identified who assaulted the ATO veterans were identified and detained. They will be prosecuted. The investigation is underway to establish an organizer and a source of financing of these 'titushky.' Also, an investigation is being carried out into the shameful cooperation of the employees of the National Police with the "titushky." They will bear responsibility for this," he wrote.
