Showdown in central Kyiv: ATO veteran Maiman attacks businessman and WWFC league president

Hard times.

Today in central Kyiv, at 62/64 Bolshaya Vasilkovskaya Street, an armed clash took place between ATO veteran Mikhail Maiman and businessman Vladimir Teslya.

Teslya's car was blocked. Teslya is the leader of the Pride of the Nation movement and president of the World Wide Fighting League (WWFC), a mixed martial arts league. One of Maiman's two bodyguards then threatened him with a pistol, while Maiman himself threatened him with a knife — a knife.

Investigators are currently working at the scene of the incident.

Mikhail Maiman, who was deputy commander of the Saint Mary battalion in Mariupol and Bakhmut, became involved earlier this year in a conflict with Ukrainian People's Deputy Ilya Kiva of the Opposition Platform – For Life, when he fought with him in one of the restaurants.
