The Brovary Court in Kyiv Oblast has switched to a special operating mode

The Brovary City and District Court of Kyiv Oblast will operate under special conditions from October 5 through October 30. This decision was made to protect the lives and health of judges, court staff, and visitors.

As stated in the decree, the reason for this is the constant air raid alerts and heavy shelling of Kyiv and the Kyiv Region, and the goal is to protect the lives and health of judges, court staff, and visitors.

Judges are advised to:

 

• Refrain from holding open court hearings involving parties to legal proceedings. If hearings are already scheduled for this period, it is recommended, where possible, to reschedule them for another date, providing advance notice to those participating in them.
• To hear only urgent court cases—in particular, matters concerning pretrial detention and the extension of detention periods.
• In the event of an air raid alert in Brovary and the Brovary District, judges and court staff must immediately leave their workplaces and proceed to the nearest shelter.

“Formally, this is not an order to completely suspend court operations. The document establishes a special regime, and the wording regarding open hearings is advisory in nature. But the practical consequence is obvious: in October 2026, it may be difficult to attend a regular open court hearing at the Brovary Court, and the main focus will be on hearing urgent cases,” explained attorney Dmytro Buzanov.

At the same time, the attorney emphasized that the court has provided for the need to give advance notice to participants in rescheduled hearings. According to him, the parties, attorneys, and other participants in the proceedings should verify the date and time of the hearing in advance rather than travel to court “blindly.”

This was reported with reference to Court Order No. 8s-o. 
 

In Shepetivka, a man attacked a pensioner in an elevator and was sentenced to 8 years.

On the morning of October 4, during a drone attack, a Russian suicide drone exploded on the roadway of the North Bridge in Kyiv.

As a result of the October 4 attack on Kyiv’s Northern Bridge, a heating main was damaged. Because of this, there will be a temporary lack of hot water in the Desnianskyi district.

The court blocked a 3 million hryvnia donation to the “Come Back Alive” fund—Sternenko.

Ukraine must now focus its efforts on countering small Russian-made cruise missiles, in particular the “Banderole” and “Dan-T.” Russia is gradually scaling up their use, Serhiy Sternenko, a former adviser to Ukraine’s ex-Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, stated Thursday on the social media platform X.
