A man in Poltava Oblast was sent to trial after investigators completed a
pre-trial investigation in which he was accused of growing cannabis and of
storing more than 1.2 kg of cannabis.[1][2]
Investigators say that in spring he sowed a plot with cannabis on the grounds of
his private household, and that he regularly watered the plants, worked the soil
and tied up the stems.[1][2][3]During an authorised search, law enforcement
officers seized 17 cannabis plants and more than 1.2 kilograms of dry green
substance.[1][2][3]A forensic examination confirmed that the seized plants belonged
to the genus cannabis and that the dry substance was cannabis.[1][3]
The man is charged with criminal offences under Part 2 of Article 309 and Part 1
of Article 310 of Ukraine’s Criminal Code, and no verdict has been given.[1][2][3]
Officers found the man during an authorised search of the private household, and
the indictment has been sent to court.[4]
Another account says he sowed the plot next to his house, and that experts
established rather than legally confirmed the botanical origin of the seized
material.[5]
The case remains at the prosecution stage: the pre-trial investigation is
complete, the indictment is with the court and the man is presumed innocent
until a court verdict.[5]
Kstati+ of Kamianske identifies the accused as a 46-year-old man whose cannabis was grown on the territory of his private household.[6]The Kamianske district police filed the indictment under the procedural guidance of the Zhovti Vody district prosecutor’s office, and the man is 46.[7]

The sources give no separate date for the search, the cultivation or the filing of the indictment; 5 November 2026, the publication date, stands in as the incident date.
The reports name only the region, Poltava Oblast, and give no district or village, so the place is recorded at region precision.
No street value was published for the 17 plants or the cannabis, so no value is recorded.
No arrest, detention or custody decision is reported, and the man is not named or aged in these accounts.
The exact weight above 1.2 kg and whether the seized plants were destroyed or retained are not stated.
No court has given a verdict, so no prison term is recorded.
The sources appear to be outlets reprinting each other's account of an official statement rather than independent reporting; no police or prosecutor release for this case could be opened.
The Russian-language edition gives no district or village either, so the place remains recorded at region precision.
No separate date is given for the search, the spring sowing or the filing of the indictment; 5 November 2026, the publication date, stands in as the incident date.
No village is named, so the place is recorded at district precision for Kamianske district, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.
The exact weight above 1.2 kg and whether the 17 seized plants were destroyed or retained are not stated.
The outlets disagree on the man's age: two Kamianske outlets say 46 while a dnipro.tv report on a related Kamianske case describes a 35-year-old, so the age should be checked against a court record.
The regional police statement appeared in the department's feed dated 5 November 2026 but could not be opened at its own address, so its full text is unconfirmed.
The pages appear to reproduce an official police account and give no custody decision or court outcome.
Left out, as its quotation was not found in Національна поліція України, Дніпропетровська область: The Dnipropetrovsk Oblast police department published its own account of the indictment in Kamianske district on 5 November 2026.
Left out agency types, as its quotation was not found in Kstati+.
