Krasnov given black eyes during detention, - SBU

The Security Service of Ukraine claims Azov-Crimea Civil Corps Chairman Stanislav Krasnov has resisted arrest, so the operatives have had to use force.

Head of the Secretariat of the Chairman of the Security Service of Ukraine Oleksandr Tkachuk said in a comment, Censor.NET reports citing Ukrinform.

"We spoke about it without disguise. Certainly, the operatives had to use force during Krasnov's detention, as he offered resistance. I remind that the detention took place in a forest between 1 a.m. and 2 a.m. We did not know for sure whether he had any arms, whether he possessed other means that could harm the law enforcement officers. That's why they were forced to act tough," Tkachuk said.
