Previously, Batryn was accused of preparing a terrorist act, and now his actions are considered a terrorist act. If found guilty, he faces life imprisonment. He is currently being held without bail. The incident occurred on December 15, 2023, in the village of Keretsky, Khust district, during a meeting of the village council, where the issue of the appointment and terms of payment of the head of the community for the next year was discussed. The man probably had a conflict with colleagues.

A month after the event, on January 15, 2024, the second deputy of the Keretsk Village Council, Myroslav Nytka, who was also injured in a grenade explosion, died in the Uzhhorod hospital.
