Vitaly saw at least four men in tracksuits and masks, was in a state of shock from what was happening and thought that bandits or alcoholics were breaking into his apartment: the policemen had no identification marks. Someone held the door by the handle, for some time it was pulled between Vitaly and the unknown, until the accused heard a cry: “Hand! Fingers!". Then Kovalenko let go of the door, after which it closed easily. Prior to this outcry, the accused heard only swearing from behind the door from those who broke into his apartment, no one introduced themselves and did not say that they were from the police. Vitaly did not see his hands and fingers, he did not feel that he could break them with the door, but he admitted that this could have happened.
