Kyiv police have opened an investigation following reports from women alleging harassment
Law enforcement officials in the capital have opened a criminal investigation into the systematic harassment of women by a local resident.
Investigators are currently conducting a comprehensive investigation to establish all the circumstances of the incident.
“The Investigation Department of the Solomyanskyi Police Department has launched a pretrial investigation under Part 1 of Article 182 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine—violation of the right to privacy,” according to an official statement from the capital’s police.
This article provides for liability for the unlawful collection, storage, or dissemination of confidential information about an individual.
According to the information released, police are currently working to identify all victims and determine the detailed circumstances of the perpetrator’s actions. The necessary investigative measures and the pre-trial investigation are currently ongoing.
Law enforcement officials are urging other potential victims not to remain silent about the problem and to contact their local police department.
This high-profile case of dangerous stalking came to light in May–June 2026 following a series of candid posts by the affected women on the social media platform Threads.
Several users described in detail similar patterns of behavior by an unknown man. This caused a significant public outcry and drew the attention of law enforcement agencies.
The women claim that the suspect persistently approached them directly on the streets or on public transportation.
Once he obtained their phone numbers, he began sending intrusive text messages and making regular, harassing calls.
The man simply ignored any requests to stop contacting them and any attempts to block him.
The Kyiv Police Press Service officially reported this on its official website on Wednesday.
