On 21 October 2026, the Kyiv-Svyatoshyn District Court issued a ruling regarding a man who committed an attempted murder. His actions were qualified as a completed attempt to commit intentional murder for profit, carried out on commission, as well as illegal handling of firearms and ammunition.
The panel of judges sentenced him to 13 years of imprisonment with confiscation of property. This was reported by the Kyiv Regional Prosecutor's Office. In the case, the prosecution was supported by representatives of the Fastiv Regional Prosecutor's Office.
According to the investigation, as early as September 2025, the man agreed to kill a person for a reward of $90,000. The attack itself took place in the morning on 19 January 2026 in the village of Novosilky in Fastiv District, Kyiv Oblast.
The offender waited for the victim near the entrance to a residential building. When the victim came out of the building, the attacker pulled out a pistol and fired twice at him. As a result, the victim sustained a serious gunshot wound to the head but survived.
After committing the crime, the man left the scene and returned to the apartment where he was temporarily residing. It was there that law enforcement officers detained him.
During the pre-trial investigation, it was established that the convicted man had purchased and stored a modified "Fort-12G" model pistol along with live ammunition without the appropriate permit. The defendant's actions were qualified under Part 2 of Article 15, Points 6 and 11 of Part 2 of Article 115, and Part 1 of Article 263 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
The pre-trial investigation was conducted by investigators from the Fastiv District Police Department of the Main Directorate of the National Police in Kyiv Oblast. The identity of the client for this crime is still being established.
