An incident occurred in the Ternopil region that sparked outrage among passengers and generated significant attention online.
Oksana shared a post on social media about a scandalous situation involving her father.
He was traveling on the Kremenets-Ternopil bus, license plate "ВО2682ВА", with driver Mykola Drobotzky and owner Anna Nesteruk. In Vyshnivka, a soldier boarded the bus, displaying his combatant ID (UBD). However, the bus owner, expressing her discontent, stated that she pays a military tax and is not obligated to transport soldiers for free. The soldier was offended by this behavior, which garnered support from other passengers.
Subsequently, as he was getting off at the Gorinka stop, a dispute arose between him and the driver, during which the bus owner remarked: "And a bullet passed him by."
This statement provoked outrage among the passengers, who emphasized that soldiers deserve respect and support, not aggression. The driver, however, expressed doubts about whether this soldier had served in the east, noting that "those who really fought do not display aggression."
When the bus arrived in Kremenets, Oksana's mother decided to take a photo of the vehicle and file a complaint, but the driver reacted unpleasantly, showing her the middle finger. This infuriated Oksana's father, prompting him to confront the driver personally.
This incident has outraged the public, as soldiers returning from the front should encounter understanding and support, not aggression.
