Two women who were loudly listening to Russian music and making obscene gestures at passers-by in central Lviv have been held administratively liable by the police.
The incident took place on 5 November at the junction of Tadeusz Kościuszko Street and Sichovykh Striltsiv Street in Lviv. The offenders were in a Range Rover. One witness recorded the incident on video and posted it on social media, where it was identified by law enforcement officers.
The police established that those involved in the offence were women aged 32 and 34, who are temporarily living in the Lviv region. Each of them has been issued with an administrative offence report under Article 173 of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offences (petty hooliganism).
The sanction under this article provides for a fine of between three and seven tax-free minimum monthly incomes, or community service for a period of forty to sixty hours, or corrective labour for a period of one to two months with a deduction of twenty per cent of earnings, or administrative arrest for up to fifteen days.
In addition to issuing the reports, law enforcement officers also held preventive discussions with the women.
