Bereza stood up for the ATO soldiers, who were beaten on May 9 in Dnepropetrovsk while trying to disrupt a procession in honor of the heroes of the Great Patriotic War.

Bereza named deputy Oleksandr Vilkul (Opposition Bloc), whom he demanded be stripped of immunity for "mass unrest in the city on the Dnieper," as the organizer of the beating, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.

“If we don’t do this now, participants in the liberation movements, veterans of the Third World War or the First Modern Patriotic War, will come out and make their judgment. Let’s translate all this into a legal framework and make the right decision,” Bereza threatened.
