A tense exchange between Kyrylo Budanov and a man identifying himself as a community representative is at the center of footage from Petropavlivska Borshchahivka, near Kyiv. Around them, a crowd surrounds a white bus, with soldiers, police and ambulance personnel at the scene.

Ukraine's Fakty ICTV (Факти ICTV) identifies Budanov, the head of Ukraine's presidential office, as attending the confrontation. The footage shows a uniformed man wearing a "BUDANOV" patch moving through the crowd and trying to coordinate a passage.

The recording opens with a group marching along a street after dark, chanting. Outside a residential complex, people block the bus while equipped soldiers form a protective corridor beside its door. Appeals to disperse follow.

During the exchange, the community representative says he came after receiving an appeal from a doctor. The two argue over moving people from the scene, but the brief conversation does not establish who was aboard the bus or the circumstances in which they were being moved.

Later, chanting grows louder. People crowd around the vehicle, rocking it or striking its exterior, before the final shots show people spreading across the nearby roadway.

The broadcaster says Interior Minister Ivan Vyhivskyi had ordered an internal investigation earlier that day. Its scope includes checking information about the incident and the conditions in which servicemen were being held. The channel credits the footage to its editor-in-chief, Volodymyr Lekh.
