During a security briefing with the Interior Ministry, the deputy head of the SBU said the Nov 2 protest was planned in advance after Moloda, who owns a plastic and aesthetic surgery clinic, visited the site three days earlier for reconnaissance. Authorities said she arrived in an ambulance still bearing the logo of the closed private clinic Medprestizh, wore a journalist accreditation badge and showed the crowd pre-recorded videos of alleged beatings, while her phone contained correspondence with media outlets that spread the claims. Ukrainian journalists also identified two other participants at the scene: Viktor Yena, who dressed as a medic alongside Moloda and has prior court cases for unauthorized absence from service, fraud and drunk driving, and Andriy Rachok, an associate of pro-Russian figure Ostap Stakhiv who livestreamed the clashes on TikTok.

Competing accounts also continued over the 14 year old boy after he stated in a video that National Guard and Azov personnel dragged him into the house, cut his clothes and beat him as a group with a shovel, feet and hands. Visegrad 24 and Nexta reported that video from the clash shows the teenager in the same green pants and black and white sneakers throwing bricks at police and soldiers from a wall next to the building before falling into the compound and emerging about an hour later wrapped in a blanket. The house used by the National Guard belongs to state-owned Sense Bank, which is auctioning the property for $308,000.
