Serhiy Sternenko underwent a difficult trial after the attack: he was urgently operated on, and, according to the activist, the bullet was removed outright
The well-known Ukrainian blogger, public figure, and volunteer announced his condition on his Telegram channel. In a brief but very emotional message, he stated that the operation was already completed: "Operated on. The bullet was removed outright. Nothing vital was affected." Serhiy emphasized that he is currently trying to gather his thoughts and recover from this traumatic experience. The activist also expressed sincere gratitude to the employees of the Security Service of Ukraine for their professional assistance during this difficult moment, as well as thanks to all his supporters and people who have been supporting him. "Once again, thank you, SBU. And to all of you. I embrace each and every one. Love our best nation — wonderful people," he wrote. Information about the attack on Serhiy Sternenko has gained momentum in the media and social networks. He was targeted in an attack during the night of October 23 in his hometown. Despite his injury, the activist is showing resilience and gratitude for the support from the public and government authorities. According to doctors, the operation was successful, and Sternenko is now in a condition that allows for optimism regarding a speedy recovery. This incident has once again raised questions about the safety level of public activists, who often become targets of aggression due to their civic stance and active engagement. Ukrainian politicians and experts are calling for increased protection for activists and the implementation of effective measures to prevent similar attacks in the future.
