Well, yes, it happens — I tried to recall.

Did you personally see the conflict?

No, I did not personally see the conflict.

Listen, with 'lobitskerto' — it's cards, there's something there.

Nobody remembers anything.

Before the Saltivskyi District Court of Kharkiv

the criminal proceedings are continuing.

against the accused Holubyk Serhii Pavlovych.

That is, your providing knowingly false testimony

entails your being held criminally liable.

I swear to tell the truth and only the truth.

So you don't know what happened on Prymyrivska Street?

We were standing about 300 meters from the metro.

I emphasize to you that during the pre-trial investigation

you provided different statements.

You are currently under oath in court.

So tell me, please, when did you lie?

During the pre-trial investigation or while under oath in court?

I did not see the conflict.

Russia was asked to step forward.

We approached, and there was nothing there anymore.

There is a senior group.

We got across well.

What was happening there?

Nothing.

There is no resolution anymore.

We understand what's happening.

Understood.

You increasingly don't remember anything about this situation, do you?

No.

Your Honor.

With your permission, although the Criminal Procedure Code requires the court to receive testimony in person,

I would like to quote the testimony Pavlo Panenko gave during the pre-trial investigation.

When we met the first group of USSR employees, they were standing by a drinking-water dispensing machine

labeled Rohanska, at the address Kharkiv, Prymerivska Street, 23.

Behind them stood a man wearing his black jacket with a panganchev hood.

Volovyk was standing beside that man.

During their conversation, the man began to behave aggressively.

He began saying that the employees of the РТЦК have no right to check his documents.

and started provoking Volovyk into a conflict.

The aforementioned man presented a court order; Volovyk spoke to the citizen in raised tones.

I stood about ten meters away from them and was talking along the perimeter for safety.

Is this your signature?

That's my signature for everyone.

I remember that after the concussion our memory disappears.

So you don't see anything?

I didn't see anything.

After the judicial investigation they reported one thing, describing in detail everything that had happened that day.

But at the court hearings they suddenly forgot everything, given the illnesses they have.

They've already said enough for two criminal cases. We will work on the matter in question.
