The head of the Preventive Activities Department of the Main Police Directorate in the Kyiv region, Borys Breus, told a reporter from Slidstvo.Info that the information about the “illegal” detention of servicemen in Petropavlivska Borshchahivka was spread by a woman who presented herself as the owner of the company Med-Prestige.
This “private ambulance” has not been operating since 2023. Its actual owner told Slidstvo.Info that the vehicle that arrived at the scene he sold in 2024. Slidstvo.Info identified the “doctor.” She is Valentyna Moloda — the owner of a clinic of plastic and aesthetic surgery.
Clashes occurred near a private house in Petropavlivska Borshchahivka in the Kyiv region; law enforcement officers are using tear gas. According to the Kyiv region police, servicemen from one of the units of the National Guard of Ukraine are staying in the residence.
According to Suspilne, the woman who identified herself as Valentyna and claimed to be the owner of the private clinic Med-Prestige said that a man who had undergone surgery has been held in the building for more than 37 days. In total, there are four wounded people. According to her, relatives of the people detained in the building called for an ambulance.
In a comment to Slidstvo.Info, the head of the Preventive Activities Department of the Main Police Directorate in the Kyiv region, Borys Breus, said that the police were called to the scene by the woman who presented herself as a doctor.
“People began to gather. This citizen started spreading information that there were people there who, in her opinion, were being held against their will, and who urgently needed medical help. After that, both local residents and representatives of law enforcement began to arrive,” Breus said.
Slidstvo.Info analyzed all the information related to this private clinic. According to YouControl, Med-Prestige LLC was registered in February 2012 in Mykolaiv. The company’s owner is an Israeli citizen, Mykhailo Furman. He previously held Russian citizenship, but after the start of the full-scale war — approximately in 2023–2024 — he renounced it.
Slidstvo.Info spoke with Furman. He said that the Med-Prestige clinic actually ceased operations in 2023, but the LLC was not closed. According to him, the company had five ambulances: one was given to Mykolaiv servicemen, the other four were sold.
Furman noted that the vehicle that arrived in Petropavlivska Borshchahivka was the last one sold — in 2024.
“The terms of sale were that they would remove all our ‘Med-Prestige’ logos. They do not have the right to operate under my trademark. And she also doesn’t have the right to present herself as the owner,” Furman said.
The woman who presented herself as the owner of the private clinic Med-Prestige is the 49-year-old Valentyna Moloda. However, according to her Instagram page, she works at the Moloda-ya clinic of plastic and aesthetic surgery.

In addition, according to YouControl, Moloda is the founder and head of the NGO International Association of Injection Physicians in the Field of Aesthetic Medicine, the Sviatoshyn District Federation of Judo and Martial Arts in the city of Kyiv, Medichnyi Tsentr Herontolohiyi, Rekonstruktyvnoyi, Plastychnoi ta Estetychnoi Khirurhii, Ekstrenoi Medytsyny “Prime” LLC, and she is also the founder and representative of the NGO All-Ukrainian Alliance of Citizens of Socially-Patriotic Projects and National Development “Plich-o-plich.”
Previously, Moloda had a sole proprietorship with the main activity of “provision of other individual services,” which she closed in 2014.
In 2020, a criminal proceeding was registered against the woman under part 1 of article 125 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine — intentional minor bodily harm. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, she was also wanted in connection with this case. In June of 2026, Moloda was released from liability due to the expiration of the statute of limitations.
Additionally, in 2020 she had a debt of more than 112 000 UAH at JSC DELTA BANK. According to the court decisions register, she also drove drunk, caused a traffic accident in Skhidnytsia, and later left the scene of the accident. On 12 June 2022 in a hotel in the Lviv region, Moloda allegedly swore at employees and “harassed” them. Thus, the investigation believes, the woman disturbed public peace and order.
According to National Guard of Ukraine commander Oleksandr Pivnenko, the house in Petropavlivska Borshchahivka is a temporary deployment point for a unit where mobilized personnel are brought after processing at the Territorial Recruitment Center.
He said that there the servicemen complete paperwork, undergo checks, and are then sent to training centers. There were 18 servicemen in the house.
Pivnenko said that four men who had been in the incident response room were found and detained by National Guard units and then brought to this point. They are currently in the NGU medical center. Information about their condition will be released after examination.
