A personal fireworks display organized by a Kiev resident on New Year’s Eve amid ongoing Russian attacks on the city could see him jailed. The 47-year-old violated the ban on firing firecrackers during the state of emergency of the war, in which cities and their residents were constantly rocked by the sudden explosions and explosions of enemy missiles. “Now he risks five years in prison,” Kiev Mayor Vitali Klitschko wrote in a message on Telegram today.
Police in Ukraine, who arrested the man and confiscated several pyrotechnic items at his home, said he also faces charges of disturbing the peace. Shortly after the illegal fireworks, air raid alarms sounded in Kyiv as Russia fired a wave of kamikaze drones over the capital. Not a good idea from the 47-year-old at a time when even the smallest movement can escalate the conflict.
