The ex-military TCR can appeal the verdict within 30 days.
As a reminder, in May 2025, a video was posted online showing a TCR serviceman in Kharkiv beating a man in civilian clothes twice during a public warning event.
Afterwards, Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov said that the victim was a teacher who had an official deferral from mobilisation.
Subsequently, the TCR and SS soldier was notified of suspicion for beating the man during the document check.
