However, the official was released from the punishment imposed because the statute of limitations had expired.<\/p>\n<p>The court classified the mayor\u2019s actions under <strong>Part 1 of Article 125 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine<\/strong> and set a fine of <strong>850 hryvnias<\/strong>. The verdict, published on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/reyestr.court.gov.ua\/Review\/141301422\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reyestr.court.gov.ua<\/a><\/strong>, states that <strong>more than two years<\/strong> had passed since the incident. The court granted the victim\u2019s civil claim, ordering Onufriienko to pay <strong>10,000 hryvnias<\/strong> in compensation for moral damages.<\/p>\n<p>The events that were the subject of the court proceedings took place on the morning of <strong>March 3, 2022<\/strong>, at the executive committee of the <strong>Yuzhnoukrainsk City Council<\/strong>. The meeting was attended by:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mayor <strong>Valerii Onufriienko<\/strong>;<\/li>\n<li>his deputies;<\/li>\n<li>other officials.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The participants discussed how to provide residents with access to a shelter at <strong>Yuzhnoukrainsk Lyceum No. 4<\/strong>. It was during this discussion that an argument broke out between the mayor and <strong>Mariia Drozdova<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>According to the prosecution, after the conflict in the meeting room, the deputy left the office and the mayor followed her. Approaching her, he struck her <strong>at least three times<\/strong> with both hands on the shoulder, neck, and head, then knocked her to the floor.<\/p>\n<p>Employees who were in the office tried to pull the mayor away from his deputy and stopped him. A subsequent forensic medical examination confirmed the injuries inflicted on the victim.<\/p>\n<p>The political confrontation surrounding the mayor began before the criminal case had concluded. On <strong>April 27, 2022<\/strong>, the <strong>Yuzhnoukrainsk City Council<\/strong> website published a draft decision to terminate his powers early. The document was initiated by <strong>Olena Petryna<\/strong>, chair of the commission on ethics and legality and a deputy from <strong>European Solidarity<\/strong>. In the explanatory note, she alleged that Onufriienko had repeatedly violated the law and assaulted <strong>Mariia Drozdova<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The local newspaper <strong>Kontakt<\/strong> reported <strong>another<\/strong> consequence of the incident: according to the paper, the mayor was stripped of the right to carry the weapon issued to him during martial law because of the case.<\/p>\n<p>In the summer of <strong>2022<\/strong>, <strong>Valerii Onufriienko<\/strong> was notified that he was suspected of assaulting his deputy. Around the same time, city council members deemed his performance unsatisfactory and terminated his powers as mayor early.<\/p>\n<p>In <strong>April 2024<\/strong>, Onufriienko reinstated himself in office by his own order. This came after a ruling by the <strong>Fifth Administrative Court of Appeal<\/strong>, which closed the appeals in his case.<\/p>\n<p>The confrontation with the council members did not end there. Council members periodically accused the mayor of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>not knowing the Ukrainian language;<\/li>\n<li>pro-Russian views, including wearing a watch associated with the <strong>Russian Federation<\/strong> special forces;<\/li>\n<li>obstructing the work of the city council.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The crisis in relations between the mayor and the council members led to the establishment of a military administration in <strong>Yuzhnoukrainsk<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mariia Drozdova<\/strong> herself also repeatedly criticized the mayor, including accusing him of delaying the court proceedings. Before the verdict was handed down, Onufriienko\u2019s lawyer alleged that the victim\u2019s side was putting pressure on the court and asked for the judge to be recused.<\/p>\n<p>During the trial, <strong>Valerii Onufriienko<\/strong> denied his guilt and presented a different version of events. He claimed that his deputy had approached him on her own with her hands raised, allegedly intending to scratch his face. According to him, he merely deflected her hands with defensive blocks, after which she fell to her knees. The mayor denied striking her.<\/p>\n<p>Evidence examined by the court included an audio recording of the meeting and video footage from the city council\u2019s surveillance cameras. The blows themselves are not visible in the video, but screams and crying can be heard on the recordings. They also show the victim leaving the office on her knees while other people help her get up.<\/p>\n<p>The reason for the argument was important to the court\u2019s legal assessment. The court found that the dispute concerned residents\u2019 access to a shelter, not the distribution of humanitarian medicines, as stated in the original charge. The court found that Onufriienko had acted out of suddenly arising personal animosity.<\/p>\n<p>The official was initially charged under <strong>Part 2 of Article 350 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine<\/strong>\u2014intentionally inflicting bodily harm on a public official in connection with the performance of official duties. However, the court found insufficient evidence of a link between the mayor\u2019s actions and the victim\u2019s specific official powers.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"quote-light\"><p>\u201cThe issue of city residents\u2019 access to a shelter located on school premises does not concern healthcare, culture, physical education and sports, or social protection, but rather education and civil protection. At the same time, the allocation of functional duties among the mayor, the secretary of the <strong>Yuzhnoukrainsk City Council<\/strong>, and the deputy mayors responsible for the activities of the executive bodies, approved by the order of the <strong>Yuzhnoukrainsk Mayor<\/strong> dated <strong>September 14, 2021, No. 258-r<\/strong>, does not confirm that <strong>Mariia Drozdova<\/strong>, as a deputy mayor, had powers in the areas of education or civil protection. Accordingly, in these criminal proceedings, the prosecution has not proved that the motive for striking the victim was directly connected to her specific, legally defined official duties,\u201d the verdict of the <strong>Arbuzynka District Court<\/strong> states.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Despite his release from punishment, the guilty verdict could affect Onufriienko\u2019s continued tenure. Under <strong>paragraph 3 of part one of Article 79<\/strong> of the <strong>Law of Ukraine \u201cOn Local Self-Government in Ukraine\u201d<\/strong>, a mayor\u2019s powers are terminated early if a guilty verdict against them comes into force.
