November 15, 2026<\/strong> Pivdennoukrainsk City Court of Mykolaiv Region<\/strong> found a minor guilty of torturing a peer and sentenced him to one year<\/strong> of probation supervision. The circumstances of the case and the sentence are set out in the judgment published in the Unified State Register of Court Decisions (reyestr.court.gov.ua<\/a>)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The attack took place on February 11, 2026<\/strong>, at approximately 2:40 p.m.<\/strong> near the entrance to a residential building on Kvitkovyi Boulevard<\/strong> in Pivdennoukrainsk<\/strong>.

During the trial, the defendant pleaded guilty and expressed remorse. He explained that he joined the fight after remembering the victim\u2019s offensive remarks about his friend\u2019s father, who, according to the defendant, had died. The teenager confirmed that he had landed several blows.<\/p>\n

Witness testimony confirmed the circumstances of the attack. One<\/strong> witness said that the victim asked them to stop beating him and asked why they were hitting him. Another saw the defendant strike the boy in the head and leg.<\/p>\n

An expert found bruising on the victim\u2019s nose and chest. According to the expert\u2019s report, these injuries could not be classified by severity.<\/p>\n
