A conscript died while waiting in line for military medical examination in Cherkasy

A tragedy occurred in Cherkasy: a conscript died while waiting in line for the military medical examination. It happened when the man had an epileptic seizure, fell out of the bus, and hit his head. Despite the immediate help from military personnel and doctors, he left this world due to the injuries sustained.

On October 5, 2025, the conscript was delivered to compile administrative materials and the next day was sent to the recruiting group. After trying to get medical assistance, he could not withstand the consequences of the epileptic seizure.

Meanwhile, a video of the man in blood has gone viral on social networks, which, according to the authors, was filmed at the Rivne District Military Registration and Enlistment Office. Such incidents occur more often than one would like.

The events that took place in Cherkasy and the Rivne District Military Registration and Enlistment Office are a troubling signal that the military service process may need to be reviewed and improved to prevent such tragedies in the future.
