Pre-trial restraint for Khmelnytskyi MSEC head and Nobel Prize in Medicine for microRNA: highlights from October 7

Strikes on Russian military targets

The defense forces successfully struck an oil terminal in Feodosia, the largest in Crimea in terms of oil transshipment, which was used, among other things, to meet the needs of the Russian occupation army.

In addition, Ukrainian reconnaissance officers disabled the Alexander Obukhov minesweeper of the Baltic Fleet of the Russian Armed Forces. It was based in the city of Baltiysk and was supposed to be on combat duty, but it was severely damaged. So now it is undergoing major repairs.

Pre-trial restraint for the head of Khmelnytsky MSEC

The Pechersk District Court of Kyiv remanded the head of the Khmelnytskyi Medical and Social Expert Commission, Tetiana Krupa, in custody for two months — until December 3. As an alternative, she can post bail of over UAH 500 million.

The Servant of the People party initiated the recall of Krupa from the regional council under the rule of a mandatory mandate as a deputy who did not justify the trust of voters. Earlier, the political force stated that she was not a member of the party.

Meanwhile, the NACP has decided to launch a second full verification of the declaration of the head of the MSEC, noting that she did not declare the 6 million that was found in cash.

Nobel Prize in Medicine

This year's Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to scientists Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun. The Nobel Committee said that the scientists had discovered a new class of tiny RNA molecules that play a crucial role in gene regulation.

Media publish video of children being beaten in a special institution in Lviv region

Journalists of Ukrainska Pravda.Life received a video that shows children being abused and beaten in a training and rehabilitation center in the Lviv region.

The video shows a woman beating a child, and the child, in turn, trying to defend himself. At the same time, the woman calls the child a “brute.” Later, law enforcement officers found out that the child in the video was beaten by a teacher - she was served the notice of suspicion of beatings and torture (Article 126 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).

Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets reacted to the video, saying that the children should be moved from the institution to protect them from further violence.
