Murder
Batryn was not convicted of murder. Official reporting says he was convicted of a terrorist act causing deaths and illegal handling of explosive devices.
Full reasoning
Official sources on the verdict do not list murder among Serhiy Batryn's convictions.
The Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine said he was found guilty of:
- Part 3 of Article 258 of Ukraine's Criminal Code — a terrorist act that led to deaths
- Part 1 of Article 263 — illegal handling of explosive devices
Ukrainska Pravda's report on the sentence gives the same two counts and likewise does not list murder.
So the article's conviction entry of "Murder" is inaccurate: the documented conviction was for terrorism/terrorist act and illegal possession/handling of explosive devices, not murder.

суд визнав його винним за двома статтями Кримінального кодексу України: ч. 3 ст. 258 (терористичний акт, що призвів до загибелі людей); ч. 1 ст. 263 (носіння, зберігання, придбання вибухових пристроїв без передбаченого законом дозволу).
live-streamed and posted on Facebook by the National Police of Ukraine
Reports indicate the livestream came from the town council's own social-media broadcast; police later released or reposted the footage.
Full reasoning
This wording misattributes the livestream itself to the National Police.
CBS reported that the video released by police was taken from a live video stream of the meeting provided by the town council on social media. The War Zone likewise reported that the footage circulated by police had been captured during a Facebook livestream of the meeting.
So the police did circulate/post the clip, but the available reporting says the original live broadcast came from the meeting/town council side, not from the National Police of Ukraine.
