Before Russia’s full-scale invasion, Voloshyn fled Ukraine and is currently hiding in Russia. Prosecutors will request a special trial to bring him to justice, the SBU said.
Voloshyn faces up to 15 years in prison under two articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine:
Treason (Part 1 of Art. 111)
Intentional infliction of minor bodily harm (Part 1 of Art. 125).
Ukraine’s parliament deprived Voloshyn of his parliamentary powers on Feb. 24, 2023.
