The Security Service of Ukraine and the State Bureau of Investigation have exposed new crimes committed by a current member of the Ukrainian parliament, who has been in custody since November 2024 for high treason.
Comprehensive investigations and lengthy expert examinations have established that the parliamentarian worked for the aggressor state not only before but also after the full-scale invasion.
After 24 February 2022, the MP massively disseminated kremlin propaganda fakes, in which he called on Ukrainians to lay down their arms before the russian invaders and tried to discredit the Defense Forces.
An independent expert examination confirmed the facts of his criminal actions to the detriment of Ukraine's defense capability and information security.
Based on the evidence, the parliamentarian has been notified of suspicion of crime under Article 111.2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine - high treason committed under martial law.
The suspect is in custody and faces life imprisonment with confiscation of property.
The investigation was carried out under the procedural supervision of the Office of the Prosecutor General.
According to Article 62 of the Constitution of Ukraine, a person is presumed innocent of a crime and may not be subject to criminal punishment until their guilt is proven in line with the procedure defined by law and established by a relevant court's verdict.
