Is it possible to report a person to the police (and get something) for verbal threats (with video evidence where the person was notified of the filming)?

Threats vary, from "Don't come here anymore" to "Do you want to fuck me?" to "If I see you here 'doing legal things' again, I/we'll give you / you'll fly / I'll overeat you, got it?"

YES, you can report to the police.

The threat of physical violence is covered by the composition of the criminal offense provided for in Part 1 of Art. 129 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine - a threat to kill, if there were real reasons to fear the execution of this threat.

Importantly! Responsibility arises only if there are real reasons to fear the actions specified in the threats.

Liability for the following actions: arrest for a term of up to six months or restriction of liberty for a term of up to two years.
