The State Border Guard Service of Ukraine captured a citizen suspected of organizing and participating in the riots during the seizure of the Kharkiv Regional State Administration building in April 2014.

Censor.NET reports referring to the State Border Guard Service press office.

As noted, the Pax Russica supporter was caught several dozen meters from the border as he was moving in the direction of Russia's Zhuravlevka village. The separatist has been recently remanded on a 200,000 hryvnia ($7,720) bail after spending two years in jail for organizing riots and seizing administrative buildings in Kharkiv in spring 2014.

"Without hesitation, the former Anti-Maidan activist decided to escape to Russia," the press service noted.

Yehor Lohvynov, accused of taking part in the unrest during the storm of the Kharkiv Regional State Administration on April 6-7, 2014, is considered to be one of the leaders of pro-Russian rallies in Kharkiv. He was one of the instigators of the "federalization referendum" in Kharkiv and repeatedly called on the Russian Federation "to bring peacekeeping troops into the territory of Kharkiv and the Kharkiv region" in his rally speeches in spring 2014.
