In Rivne, a bus driver was punished for insulting the mother of a fallen soldier. Now he no longer has the right to work in the field of transportation.

This measure of punishment for the man was announced by the mayor Oleksandr Tretiak on Telegram.

"This situation is not just outrageous, the driver must be punished for this. He has already been fired from his job, he is no longer allowed to work in the field of transportation. The driver must apologize to the mother of the deceased, as well as go to the cemetery and apologize to his son. The carrier was obliged to deliver humanitarian aid to the front and bring it there personally. Because I see that for someone the war has become somewhere far away!" wrote Tretiak.

What happened

In Rivne, the bus driver refused the mother of the deceased Hero a reduced fare and was rude to her. This was announced by the mother of the Hero Lyudmila Marchuk herself on her Facebook page. According to her post, the incident occurred on June 2 in the afternoon.

"I am like the mother of a fallen soldier. If he simply said: "I sympathize with you, but sorry, I have all the preferential places occupied", this post would not be. Whenever I heard myself in the back: "Divorced you here..." Are we, grieving widows and inconsolable mothers, divorced? Do you hear, folks? Colorado beetles are bred, disrespectful. And this war is not over," she wrote.

The woman added that in this situation, none of the passengers reacted judgmentally.

It is known that Liudmyla Marchuk's son, Bohdan Hordiychuk, died on January 4, 2023, when he and his comrades were returning from an operation in the Kharkiv region. Their car hit a mine.

Recall that in Kiev, the carrier, on the route of which was denied a participant in hostilities in preferential travel, was fined 17 thousand UAH.
