Can Ukrainian Authorities Force Witnesses to Testify?

Can Witnesses Be Compelled to Testify in Ukrainian Criminal Investigations? The question of whether a witness can be legally compelled to participate in a criminal investigation is a crucial aspect of the Ukrainian legal system. Recently, a short video by Oleksandr Legal Counsel, a legal expert, has shed light on this matter. In the video, Oleksandr explains that within the framework of a criminal investigation, authorities can submit a request for a witness's appearance, particularly for investigative actions such as questioning. While the specific details of the legal process were not fully expanded upon in the video, the information provided is valuable for those seeking a basic understanding of witness rights and obligations in Ukraine. The video's brevity and direct approach make it easily accessible to a wide audience. This highlights the importance of understanding legal procedures and the rights of witnesses within the context of criminal investigations.
