The continuation into the new century of the chaotic fallout from the [[Dissolution of the Soviet Union|collapse of the Soviet Union]] was symbolized for many in Dnipropetrovsk by two violent episodes. In June and July 2007, Dnipropetrovsk experienced a wave of random video-recorded [[serial killer|serial killings]] that were dubbed by the media as the work of the "[[Dnepropetrovsk maniacs|Dnipropetrovsk maniacs]]".<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://casefilepodcast.com/case-92-dnepropetrovsk-maniacs/ |title=Case 92: Dnepropetrovsk Maniacs – Casefile: True Crime Podcast |date=11 August 2018 |work=Casefile: True Crime Podcast |access-date=2018-08-27 |language=en-US}}</ref> In February 2009, three youths were sentenced for their part in 21 murders, and numerous other attacks and robberies.<ref name="sentence">{{cite news |url=http://www.new-most.info/news/crime/10500.htm |title=Dnepropetrovsk Maniacs: Court delivers its verdicts |language=ru |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120212122119/http://most-dnepr.info/news/crime/10500.htm |archive-date=12 February 2012}}</ref> On 27 April 2012, four bombs [[2012 Dnipropetrovsk explosions|exploded]] near four tram stations in Dnipropetrovsk, injuring 27 people.<ref>{{Cite news |date=27 April 2012 |title=Bombs wound 27 in Ukrainian city |language=en |work=Reuters |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-ukraine-blasts-idUKBRE83Q0FU20120427 |access-date=2022-08-08}}</ref> No one was convicted.

Dnipro is reported as the only city in Ukraine where a volunteer formation has been created under direct control of the [[Dnipro City Council]]. It is called the "Dnieper Guard" (Варти Дніпра, Varty Dnipra). The mayor of Dnipro, [[Borys Filatov]] has dismissed suggestions that the group remained [[Ihor Kolomoyskyi]]'s "private army". Kolomoyskyi has helped with some equipment purchases, but the force performs defence and law and order functions under the leadership of the [[National Police of Ukraine|national police]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Горбань |first=Аліна |date=5 April 2022 |title=В університеті у Дніпрі розпочали тренінг домедичної підготовки |url=https://suspilne.media/225425-u-dnipropetrovskomu-universiteti-rozpocali-trening-domedicnoi-dopomogi-v-umovah-vijni/? |access-date=2022-04-05 |website=Суспільне {{!}} Новини |language=uk}}</ref>
