Additional information:

The head of the association of co-owners of an apartment building, where Vadym Tomashevsky lives, provoked a conflict and hit the journalist in the jaw. The journalist filed a complaint with the police and had the beatings recorded. There is a suspicion of a closed craniocerebral injury. The incident occurred during an air raid — the producer and film crew were forced to go down to the underground car park and continued their work there. In turn, the security guards and the head of the association assumed that the journalists were filming a story about their organisation and provoked a conflict.
