The 2015 Kharkiv bombing occurred on 22 February 2015, when a bomb hit a Ukrainian national unity rally in the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, Kharkiv Oblast.[1][2][3] The blast killed at least three people and injured another 10, including a boy age 15 and a policeman. On 25 February the death toll rose to four.[4][5] It was one of many bombings in the cities of the Kharkiv oblast and Odesa oblast.
Security forces arrested four people after the attack. More attacks happened in the city afterwards.[citation needed]
Bloomberg reported that the deadly attack in the government-controlled city assisted the decline of the hryvnia, Ukraine's national currency.[6]
On 28 December 2019 suspects Viktor Tetyutsk, Serhiy Bashlykov and Volodymyr Dvornikov were sentenced to life imprisonment. They were released (during a major prison exchange) and handed over to representatives of the Russian-controlled Donetsk People's Republic and Luhansk People's Republic on 29 December 2019.[citation needed]
