The far-right National Corps party, headed by Andriy Biletsky, lawmaker and ex-commander of Azov Volunteer Battalion, held a self-proclaimed “Anger Day” protest in front of the Presidential Administration in downtown Kyiv on March 9.
Protesters demanded punishment of those involved in a recent corruption scandal in the state-owned defense sector enterprise UkrOboronProm. The scandal, which evolves around high-ranking officials with close connections to Ukraine’s President Petro Poroshenko, became public after an investigative report by Bihus.info was released on Feb. 25.
According to the police, two of its officers and a member of Ukraine’s National Guard were injured during the protests.
