Commissioner of the Verkhovna Rada for Human Rights Dmytro Lubinets appealed to the Lviv Regional TCC and SP regarding the circumstances of the death of a serviceman who, according to his family, died the day after mobilization. Lubinets reported this on Telegram, reports UNN.
According to the ombudsman, his representative in the Lviv region, Taras Podvirnyi, received information about the controversial circumstances of the serviceman's death, and later the family of the deceased filed an official appeal.
As the man's daughter reported, on June 13, 2026, her father was mobilized by employees of the Sheptytskyi District TCC and SP, and he died the very next day.
According to Lubinets, the circumstances of the case raise a number of questions. The family claims that they were not informed about the man's death nor about the opening of criminal proceedings. Also, according to them, the body was in the morgue for almost 12 days, and during the examination they discovered numerous bodily injuries, including hematomas in the area of the liver and spleen, as well as limb injuries.
Furthermore, the ombudsman noted that the forensic medical examination report listed hypertrophic cardiomyopathy as the cause of death, although before mobilization the military medical commission had declared the man fit for military service. According to the family, they were also denied information and procedural documents.
In this regard, Lubinets' representative in the Lviv region sent an official request to the Lviv Regional TCC and SP demanding full information on all the circumstances of this case.
"Every such story must be thoroughly investigated. If violations were committed, everyone involved must be held accountable within the bounds of the law. The family has the right to know the truth. And society must receive honest and comprehensive answers," Lubinets emphasized.
At the same time, the ombudsman stated the need for a systemic reform of mobilization procedures. According to him, people should not be forced to defend their legal rights after actual detention or mobilization, and manifestations of so-called "busification" undermine citizens' trust in state institutions.
