Questions about illegal entry into a home

I read a court decision regarding trespassing. Can I be held liable if I accidentally entered someone else's territory through carelessness, for example, while walking?

In the Criminal Code of Ukraine, liability for illegal entry into a person's home or other property (Article 162 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine) arises only when there is intent. That is, in order to be held criminally liable, it must be proven that a person knowingly and intentionally entered someone else's home or other property (apartment, house, yard, etc.) without the permission of the owner or legal user.
