🚫 A prosecutor in Kyiv region attacked a colleague and police officers
🔈 Olga Ratushna, a prosecutor of the Pereiaslav division of the Boryspil district prosecutor's office in Kyiv region, is being dismissed for obstructing police work
4 On December 2025, a prosecutor’s office employee, accompanied by police, attempted to serve an indictment to a suspect while he was in the office of a private family doctor.
At the entrance to the doctor’s office they encountered a colleague — Olga Ratushna, who was not on duty there but obstructed the colleague and the law enforcement officers in every way.
A police officer’s body camera recorded Ratushna refusing to step away from the door, arguing with police officers, grabbing their clothing, and pushing the prosecutor.
“Why are you putting on this circus?” Ratushna complained, and repeated several times: “He has a lawyer.” She also remarked: “Do this properly… What suspect? The person felt unwell. He has a lawyer… You know he has a lawyer who is on sick leave. Why are you beating the person into this state? You know he is hospitalized, the lawyer warned… He closes his sick leave on Saturday… What terms? You can 30 continue.”
When the man left the doctor’s office, he began to push his way to the exit. Ratushna followed him and prevented the other prosecutor from serving him the indictment. At the same time Ratushna grabbed a police officer’s jacket. Then Ratushna grabbed the cover of the video camera display that was recording, and also grabbed the police officer’s body camera with her hands, trying to tear it off.
The prosecutor who attempted to serve the indictment was shoved by the suspect as he headed for the exit; she struck the corner of a wall with her right hand and sustained abrasions to her wrist and hand. After that the man went outside, got into a car, and drove off in an unknown direction.
🚫 That day Ratushna excused herself from work claiming a doctor’s visit due to chest pains. Later she brought her supervisor an alleged prescription for the medications. The document raised doubts: the date visually showed signs of alteration, there were no requisites of an official letterhead, and no registration number or identifying information for the person prescribed the medication.
When the internal investigation began, the family doctor denied that Ratushna had visited him that day.
A few months later Ratushna did obtain from that doctor a note stating that he had provided her a service that day: he measured her blood pressure, albeit unofficially.
The head of the Pereiaslav prosecutor’s division said he heard from Ratushna that the suspect who 4.12.2025 was in the doctor’s office is her godfather.
That day the doctor had an employee of the State Emergency Service’s Communications and Control Center. Earlier he had been served with a suspicion in connection with a street fight — intentional minor bodily injury (part 1 of article 125 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine). The instigator of the fight told them he hit the victim because the victim had been hitting Ratushna. The prosecutor herself denied everything.
The State Bureau of Investigations, following a police officer’s report, is also investigating a case that “unidentified persons” offered active resistance.
