On 9 May 2017, a fight broke out during the Victory Day over Nazism in World War II in Dnipro, Ukraine. On the morning of that day, veterans who had participated in the War in Donbas asked Opposition Bloc supporters at the event to remove the party flag with Soviet connotations and the Ribbon of Saint George, which is illegal in Ukraine, and then conflicts broke out. There are reports that the National Police of Ukraine not only failed to crack down on illegal opposition supporters, but also collaborated with Titushky to help beat soldiers. Witnesses said police used tear gas, smoke grenades and baton attacks during the fights.
