A video has been circulated on social media showing a police car crashing into a Volkswagen crossover and then fleeing the scene. The police said they had ordered an internal investigation. As reported by Censor.NET, the accident was reported on the Telegram channel "Kyiv Operative".

It is noted that the incident occurred at the entrance to Kyiv from Boryspil on February 27.
