A young resident of a village named Ladozhskaya was rushed to the Ust-Labinsk Central Regional Hospital after an assault involving acid. The suspect is identified as the former partner of the victim. Authorities in Krasnodar Territory reported the incident via the Telegram channel of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, underscoring the seriousness of jealousy-driven violence and its impact on survivors.
In a separate case, a 21-year-old woman sustained chemical burns when sulfuric acid was hurled at her by an ex-lover who had prior criminal convictions in the Irkutsk region. Law enforcement teams quickly detained the man, who reportedly admitted to the crime, citing jealousy as the motive. The authorities describe this as a premeditated attack that targeted the victim in a moment of personal conflict.
Local media outlets report that the burns affected about 30 percent of the woman’s body, including the head, neck, chest, upper limbs, and face. The injuries left the victim visually impaired, and she remains in severe intensive care as medical teams decide whether she can be transferred to a larger regional hospital for ongoing treatment. The dispatch decision hinges on her stabilization and the capacity of nearby facilities.
According to the patient, the man had repeatedly threatened violence, and the victim had informed police on multiple occasions. Despite these signals, authorities indicate that the threats were not always followed by decisive action, highlighting a recurring gap in responses to credible danger in such cases. The ongoing investigation will seek to determine the full sequence of events and any failures in protective measures.
There is a troubling parallel in another widely reported incident in which a husband in the Samara region reportedly drenched his wife with sulfuric acid while she was on her way to a courthouse for divorce proceedings. The case underscores the persistent risk of acid violence against women and the urgent need for stronger protective measures and rapid crisis response.
Experts in public safety note that acid assaults are often driven by coercive control and intense jealousy, and they insist that communities must take swift, coordinated action. Medical professionals emphasize the importance of immediate decontamination, prompt assessment for inhalation injuries, and careful handling of chemical exposure to minimize long-term damage. Law enforcement agencies call for improved reporting channels, protected accommodations for survivors, and evidence collection that preserves crucial details for prosecution.

For survivors, the road to recovery can be long and emotionally demanding. Support systems, access to specialized burn care, and ongoing mental health resources are essential components of healing. Advocates urge families and local authorities to prioritize survivor safety, address trauma, and ensure that protective orders and police interventions are effective when threats arise. The broader message is clear: violence in intimate relationships, including chemical attacks, demands proactive prevention, rapid intervention, and compassionate, consistent care for those affected.
