Woman with Group 1 Disability Alleges Humiliation and Threats on Ukrainian Train

A Ukrainian woman, Olya Shevchuk, who holds a first-group disability certificate, has shared a distressing account of an alleged incident on an electric train while she was traveling with her two minor sons. Ms. Shevchuk stated that during her journey from Krasne to Poltava, two train conductors reportedly subjected her to public humiliation, demanding a 50% escort fee despite her presenting valid disability documentation. She also noted that she possesses a multi-child family certificate. The situation reportedly escalated further when a male passenger intervened, allegedly verbally abusing Ms. Shevchuk with derogatory terms and threatening to remove her from the train. Ms. Shevchuk expressed profound disappointment that other passengers did not come to her defense. She is seeking public attention for the incident and calls for appropriate action against those responsible, emphasizing the importance of respectful treatment for individuals with disabilities in public transport.
