The authorities officially “expressed disquiet”, IT-community was seeking a solution of this problem. It didn’t help even a law prohibiting seizing the servers unless there is a direct indication of the court.

Recently in the Verkhovna Rada introduced a bill, the rules of which prohibit completely the temporary seizing of technical equipment and the use of special forces and special means without direct court order. So if the bill will be passed, there won’t be any special forces in masks that burst into IT-companies.
