The abduction attempt was thwarted thanks to the victim's husband, who intervened in the situation. The judge was hospitalized, and her condition is assessed as serious.
The Council of Judges of Ukraine strongly condemned the attack, calling it a brazen act of violence against a representative of the judiciary. They noted that this is one of the most brutal attacks on a judge during the full-scale war.
