Kyiv Defense Expo Organizer Detained 60 Days After Fatal Strike

A Kyiv court ordered 60 days of pretrial detention for Vasyl Honcharuk, organizer of a defense-industry exhibition at a private complex in the Kyiv region that was hit by two Russian missiles on July 24, killing 11 people and injuring dozens. Prosecutors allege negligence in organizing the event; the investigation is examining the attack and potential security/authorization shortcomings, while Honcharuk’s defense argues against detention. The case remains ongoing.
