Yes, you can. To do this, you need to submit evidence to the court that confirms the circumstances you specified. Taking into account the above, the court may issue an acquittal.

Also, in accordance with Clause 7, Part 1, Art. 284 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine, the victim may withdraw from the accusation, which is a consequence of the closing of the criminal proceedings on the basis of the relevant court order.
