An employee of Ukrzaliznytsia complained to the TCC and the police in Mykolaiv region: what the court decided

In the Mykolaiv region, an employee of Ukrzaliznytsia reported forced detention and allegedly illegal mobilization despite having a deferral. He complained about the actions of the police and the MCC to the court. The appeal put an end to his case.

This is stated in the decision of the Mykolaiv Court of Appeal.

According to the case file, the track fitter of Ukrzaliznytsia stated that on December 31, 2025, he was stopped on the road between the villages of Vasylivka and Snihurivka in Mykolaiv region. During the document check, he presented a certificate of deferment from mobilization issued on August 1, 2025, for a period of 12 months.

Nevertheless, according to the applicant, law enforcement officers, together with employees of the TCC and the JV, used force and took him to the term center to clarify his military registration data, after which he was sent to Mykolaiv and later to a military unit.

In February 2026, the man filed a report with the police about possible abuse of power by law enforcement and military officials. However, law enforcement officers did not enter the information into the Unified Register of Pre-trial Investigations, after which the railroader filed a complaint with the court.

The investigating judge of the Snihuriv District Court dismissed the complaint, noting that the circumstances described relate to mobilization activities during martial law and do not contain sufficient signs of a criminal offense.

The railroader appealed, insisting that the complaint contained enough facts to be registered in the URPTI.

However, the Court of Appeal agreed with the conclusion of the first instance. The judges noted that the statement did not provide specific facts that would indicate abuse of power or causing significant damage.

The case file also indicates that the applicant was taken to the MCC to clarify his military registration data and to undergo a military medical examination as part of mobilization procedures.

As a result, the Court of Appeal upheld the decision of the court of first instance and dismissed the complaint of the representative of the Ukrzaliznytsia employee.
