Additional information:

Security guards of the deputy Viktor Medvedchuk prevented journalists from filming guests on the wedding of his stepson. Journalists were filming from the public areas without entering the private restaurant complex where the wedding was. However, security guards tried to block the view and later blocked the camera crew’s car. Interest in this event was sparked by the fact that Medvedchuk is related to Vladimir Putin.
