This was announced by People's Deputy of the Petro Poroshenko Bloc faction and concurrently the head of the Social Democratic Party Sergei Kaplin.
"All members of the SPU and SDP political councils, at a joint meeting, unanimously adopted and signed a statement to the SBU, the President of Ukraine, and other law enforcement agencies regarding the threats made by Avakov's advisor, Kiva. This usurper and raider has repeatedly threatened, on television, in the media, and on social media, to drown in blood the leaders of the Socialist Party and SDP, as well as several members of parliament who spoke out against the SPU's raid," Kaplin wrote on his Facebook page.
“Taking into account his unstable mental state, which is confirmed by medical certificates, we demand that he be punished for these statements, provide protection for the recipients of the threats, and also deprive him of military ranks, shoulder straps and weapons permits,” the people’s deputy concluded.
Earlier, Kaplin announced the merger of the SPU and his SDP into the “For Ordinary People” bloc.
