The commercial production featuring Ukrainian rap artist Alyona Alyona was staged without permits and drew backlash from Kyiv officials and social media users.

The video posted by Saint Sophia Cathedral administration on Facebook shows a video production team filming two racing cars drifting around Bohdan Khmelnytsky monument.

Kyiv City Council said the commercial production had no proper permits for filming at Sophiyska square and reported the incident to police for further investigation.

Kyiv officials aruged the production team failed to put up security fencing exposing to danger pedestrians while its race cars damaged the clinker brick pavement with tire marks.

Police informed they opened a probe into the video production incident and are set to bring charges of disorderly conduct against the alleged offenders.

The video was produced by Ukrainian office of Red Bull. The energy drink company posted several photos of the filming process at Sophiyska Square on its official Instagram account but soon deleted them following the barrage of criticisms. The photos showed Ukrainian rap artist Alyona Alyona who was reportedly set to appear in the commercial.
