A resident of Khmelnytskyi Oblast was sentenced to 7 years in prison for deliberately running over a serviceman from the Territorial Recruitment and Social Support Center (TRC and SS) during a document check. The verdict was announced by the Office of the Prosecutor General. According to gp.gov.ua.

The incident took place in April 2026 in Volochysk. During a document check, the 57-year-old driver was informed that he had violated military registration rules. He then suddenly drove off and hit the serviceman, who was standing in front of the car. The man carried the victim on the hood for about 150 meters.

The serviceman suffered serious head injuries. He had to undergo several surgeries and receive extensive treatment.

The court found the driver guilty under Part 3 of Article 350 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. In addition to the prison sentence, the convict must compensate for material and moral damages: nearly 450,000 hryvnias were awarded against him.
