Savyntsi resident will go to jail for six years for providing data on the location of Ukrainian defense forces to the aggressor

The Balakliya District Court of Kharkiv Region sentenced a 64-year-old unemployed resident of the village of Savyntsi, Izyum District, to six years in prison for informing the aggressor about the deployment of Ukrainian defense forces near the front.

Kharkiv Times learned about this from the statements of the spokesman for the regional SBU department Vladyslav Abdula, the regional prosecutor's office, as well as from the court's verdict.

The convict is a supporter of pro-Kremlin ideology. As she herself told the court, after the deoccupation of Savyntsy, she had the Telegram messenger. received a message from a previously unknown person. She started chatting with her about free topics and in one of the conversations she said that she has a granddaughter who needs treatment. This person offered her help in leaving and the territory of the Russian Federation and in the future – in the treatment of a granddaughter in one of the Moscow hospitals. For this, the person asked the woman to provide information about the movement of military equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the location of deployment of military formations, to which she gave her consent.

According to the investigation, the occupiers remotely recruited the woman to cooperate in March of this year.

To carry out enemy tasks, the attacker, who knew the terrain well, went around the territory of the settlement and covertly recorded the locations of Ukrainian soldiers, the number of military equipment and even memorized the markings on military vehicles. She also asked her fellow villagers for the necessary information under the guise of everyday conversations. Already at home, she personally drew maps-schemes of the area, on which she marked the locations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with reference to landmarks, and sent them to the occupiers with her comments. The court verdict lists some of them (the original spelling is preserved – ХТ):

“Hello, today I just watched a new caravan consisting of two UN passenger cars, the first and last three large, covered very heavy cars were driving, they were moving slowly and rattling. The caravan proceeded in the direction of the former feed mill or fattening farm, there was nowhere else for them to go. The lineup has been updated. There were very few of them. They drove probably at night, and today many cars drove in the direction of the raisin. I don't know how to put it all together. I tell you to fold”.

“My neighbor goes here alone, so he said that they are like security, there are 12 people living in the depot with four people in the guard, maybe at the factory, that is, because the territory is protected and you can't walk past there are posts everywhere”.

“Guests live at the mushroom factory and the equipment looked like it was going to Balaklei, well, it's expensive not to see much, but there is movement.

“The block post is still active in Balakleya on the bridge at the factory, there are posts around the factory, locals cannot even pass, they are sitting at the beet counter in the laboratory and on the scales”.

The Security Service of Ukraine detained an enemy informer in June of this year in her own apartment. Her mobile phone, which she used to communicate with the occupiers, hand-drawn maps of the area with appropriate markings, draft notes were taken from her.

The woman did not admit her guilt in court. She did not dispute the very facts of the information transfer, but noted that this information was not true, she made it up and then reported it to the specified person. She did not monitor the movement of military equipment, as she was always at home. However, her arguments were refuted by the evidence examined by the court.

The court found the woman guilty of ch. 2 Art. 114-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (unauthorized dissemination of information about the movement, movement or deployment of the Armed Forces, committed under martial law). Given the advanced age of the defendant, she was sentenced to six years in prison.

Currently, the guilty verdict has not yet entered into legal force, the time for its appeal continues.
