Court imprisons woman for tipping Russia on Army maneuvers

In Kharkiv region, a court has sentenced a woman to six years and six months in prison for passing Russia about the movement of Ukraine’s Armed Forces.

This was reported by the Prosecutor General's Office, Ukrinform saw.

The court found the suspect guilty of unlawfully circulating information about the movement and location of the Armed Forces’ units, as well as justifying or denying Russia’s armed aggression against Ukraine.

Prosecutors proved in trial that the perpetrator has been in contact with her Russian handler since 2023 via an online messenger. She would collect and deliberately transmit to the intelligence operative sensitive information regarding Ukraine’s defenses.

Given that the culprit resided by the railway, she would systematically keep track of the movement of Ukrainian military equipment and its numbers.

The convict would also spy on Ukraine’s fortifications and military bases, marking them on Google Maps for her handler.

The woman also openly supported the Russian world concept and backed Russian aggression.

At the court hearing, she pleaded guilty.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, a court sentenced a Kyiv region resident to 15 years in prison for trying to pass Russia data he had collected on security and defense forces' personnel in exchange for employment with the Federal Security Service.
