Telegram channel administrator to be tried for aiding tax evaders and supporting Russian aggression

Prosecutors of the Chernihiv Regional Prosecutor's Office have sent an indictment to the court against a resident of Zhytomyr Region, who is charged with treason, obstruction of mobilization, illegal transportation of people across the state border of Ukraine, as well as distribution of materials justifying the aggression of the Russian Federation and glorifying its participants .

The investigation established that the man collaborated with a representative of the Russian Federation, agreeing to assist in subversive activities against Ukraine by disrupting mobilization measures. He served as the administrator of a Telegram channel, where he posted information about the organization of illegal border crossings by conscripts.

The accused personally organized the illegal crossing of the state border of 11 people. To do this, he suggested several ways to cross, provided instructions with detailed routes, indicated specific places for passage beyond checkpoints, and also recommended the necessary equipment.

During correspondence on Telegram with a Belarusian propagandist, the accused reported that he had helped about 300 men escape abroad, who, according to him, avoided mobilization and service in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

In addition, the accused distributed materials on the Telegram channel that justified the Russian Federation's aggression against Ukraine, promoted the need for «liberation from the Ukrainian Nazi plague» and glorified «heroes of the special operation». Semantic and textual examinations confirmed the illegal nature of these statements.

For these crimes, the man faces up to 15 years of imprisonment or life imprisonment with confiscation of property. 

The pre-trial investigation and operational support were carried out by the SBU Department in Chernihiv region.
