Notably, the court’s decision has stirred discussions about the possible reclassification of Batrin’s actions under Article 258, Part 3 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, which pertains to committing a terrorist act resulting in the death of an individual.<\/p>\n Vitaliy Hlahola, a journalist with sources in the Uzhgorod District Court, provided insights into the proceedings. According to him, Batrin participated in the court session remotely, likely due to the nature of his detainment.<\/p>\n According to law enforcement officials, on Dec. 15, Batrin detonated grenades during a session of the Kerechka Village Council in the Mukachevo district. Preliminary reports indicated that 26 people were injured, with at least six sustaining severe injuries, including Batrin himself.
