Andrii Bohomaz is a Ukrainian civilian who was shot by Russian Armed Forces in Izium, in the Kharkiv region of Ukraine, in June 2022, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Bohomaz and his wife Valeria Ponomarova accidentally drove into Russian occupied territory. Their vehicle and Bohomaz were struck by gunfire, before Ponomarova was led to safety by a Ukrainian military drone.
Russian forces assumed Bohomaz to be dead, but he woke the next day and walked to safety.
Ukrainian police are pursuing a Russian commander for attempted murder. Filmmaker Lubomir Levitski directed the documentary Follow Me about the attack.
