Hooliganism

Hooliganism is a gross breach of public order, from swearing and street fights to firing non-lethal guns and damaging other people’s property. In September 2026 police in Mykolaiv detained a 17-year-old who fired shots in a trolleybus and injured a passenger, and in January 2026 a 60-year-old man was named a suspect over 40 punctured tyres in the Namyv neighbourhood.

MykVisti covers such cases in Mykolaiv and the region, residents’ complaints, police reports and court rulings.
