An official account of Ukraine's patrol police has appeared on TikTok. One of TK Media's editors came across the video with dancing police officers on the social network by chance.
The channel has published 8 videos, which have collectively gathered 29,700 likes. The account has 6,100 subscribers. The videos are humorous in nature: the police try to "hype" on social network trends, using popular music and playing with template video scenarios. Apparently, the police press service is still trying to find common ground with the Chinese app and figure out how to work with TikTok. There are no public statistics on the number of Ukrainian users of the social network, but it is believed that users are mostly teenagers and adults under 30.
The Kyiv patrol police confirmed to TK Media that the account is official. You can watch other videos by following this link.
