Around 40 people are being held hostage in the basement of a building in Petropavlovskaya Borshchagovka, near Kyiv, according to multiple reports. The hostages include injured individuals, and at least one person is reported to be in critical condition. Armed men, claiming to be the building's owners, have prevented medics and police from entering. A woman claims her boyfriend, who left his military unit, is among the hostages, and money is being demanded for his release. Clashes have occurred between the crowd and those inside the building, with tear gas used against the crowd. Some reports suggest that one person has died.
