On 25 October 2017, a parked scooter exploded in Kyiv, which was thought to be an assassination attempt on him. The blast killed his bodyguard and another man. Mosiychuk and a political scientist Vitaliy Bala along with another woman were injured.[3]

(Mosiychuk's) Radical Party lost all its parliamentary seats in the 2019 Ukrainian parliamentary election, because it gained about 1% to little to clear the 5% election threshold and also did not win an electoral district seat.[4]
