Ukrainian law enforcement officers are negotiating with the man who threatened to detonate a hand grenade inside the cabinet building and would take measures against him if he refused to surrender.

The interior affairs ministry said this on Wednesday.

“A special police operation is being carried out in Kiev.

“Today, at around 10 a.m., an unidentified man entered the cabinet building and pulled out an object resembling an explosive device from his pocket, threatening to detonate it.

“Negotiations with the man are ongoing.

“Law enforcement officers and rescuers are working on the spot.

“If the man refuses to stop the offense voluntarily, police measures prescribed by the law will be taken against him,’’ the Ukrainian Ministry of Interior Affairs wrote on Facebook. (Sputnik/NAN)
