A search is being conducted at the National Hotel, where Kharkiv Mayor Gennady Kernes is staying.

The search is carried out by people in military uniform with machine guns and without any identifying marks.

Dmitry Svyatash (Vozrozhdenie parliamentary group) and Mikhail Dobkin (Opposition Bloc faction) are also currently staying there . Journalists are prohibited from entering the hotel.

Kharkiv Mayor Kernes told the media that he was unaware of the search and had not been warned. The press service of the Kharkiv Regional Prosecutor's Office stated that law enforcement officials in the Kharkiv region had nothing to do with the search of the National Hotel.

On March 26, 2015, the Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine submitted to the court an indictment against Kharkiv Mayor Gennady Kernes and his security guards V. Blinnik and E. Smitsky.

As Arsen Avakov, the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, stated on his Facebook page:

"Yes, the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Kharkiv is conducting an investigation into a criminal case related to the crimes committed on the Maidan."
