The Court of Appeal of Kyiv confirmed the verdict of People’s Artist of Ukraine Ostap Stupka in the case of a road accident while intoxicated, which occurred in 2023.
The actor, who drove his Range Rover at speed into a parked Mitsubishi in the Holosiivskyi district of Kyiv, was sentenced to three years of restricted freedom and eight years of driving privileges.
The driver of the Mitsubishi, Yaroslav, was injured in the accident. He was seriously injured, spent three days in intensive care and underwent surgery. The level of alcohol in Stupka’s blood was 1.62 ppm with a norm of 0.2.
The defense asked to soften the punishment: to replace the restriction of freedom with a fine of 170 thousand hryvnias and to reduce the driving ban from eight to five years, referring to the actor’s full admission of guilt, compensation for the treatment of the victim ($23 thousand), positive feedback from colleagues and help from the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The prosecutor insisted on a three-year prison term.
The appellate court left the sentence unchanged. The decision has entered into force, but it can still be challenged in the Supreme Court within three months.
It will be recalled that human rights defender Pavlo Lysyansky died in a road accident.
The court also sentenced the driver who caused the fatal accident on the Maidan.
