[1] On 25 May 2016, a man who arrived in Kyiv from occupied territory in the Donbas attempted to stab Hanna Turchynova, the wife of National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine chief Oleksandr Turchynov, while she was at work.
When that woman began to shout, "I am not Hanna Volodymyrivna", there was a pause, due to which the guard who was there in the room managed to neutralize and disarm Olentsevych.
