Review of the court decision

On 10 November, the Kyiv Court of Appeal issued a ruling quashing the decision of the Sviatoshyn District Court of Kyiv dated 3 April.

Background of the conflict

The court proceedings began in September 2024, when Kryukova, a journalist for the publication "Strana," which is banned in Ukraine, filed a lawsuit against Ihor Lachenkov. In her claim, she alleged that the blogger had infringed upon her honour and dignity.

Positions of the parties

Following the announcement of the appellate court's verdict, Ihor Lachenkov commented on the situation for hromadske. He called the ruling fair and the journalist's lawsuit baseless. Under the new decision, Kryukova is obliged to compensate Lachenkov 21,000 hryvnias.
