On June 2, 2026, the HACC Appeals Chamber held the first hearing in the case of MP Liudmyla Marchenko and her assistant Anastasiia Kolesnik, who are charged with promising, in exchange for a bribe, to register two men of conscription age in the Shliakh system as volunteers to enable their travel abroad.

The hearing had to be adjourned due to Marchenko's failure to appear — in her motion she cited the illness of her young child and attached a medical certificate. The court only managed to hear the parties' positions on that motion. The substantive hearing never got underway: the panel did not even hear the reporting judge's summary of the first-instance verdict, the grounds of the appeals, or the responses to them.

On March 19, 2026, the HACC found both defendants guilty and sentenced each to 2 years' imprisonment. As additional penalties, Liudmyla Marchenko received a 3-year ban on holding positions in state and local government bodies, and Anastasiia Kolesnik a 3-year ban on holding positions in organizations dealing with border crossing permits.
