Waging a guess, it’s likely because of the wartime powers that suspended some individual rights, combined with the corruption purges and arrests of Russophile orthodox priests and party leaders that happened earlier in the war.

Justified as it may be to remove fifth columnists/foreign agents and puppets during total war, it’s still subverting the norms of a free society.

The sources justifying it are from before the Russian invasion.

And they are not really enough evidence. It’s basically bits and pieces that don’t really say enough plus one reuters quote that is probably influenced from pre-euromaiden.
