<span><span><span><span><span><span>This was reported by the Kherson Regional Prosecutor’s Office.</span></span></span></span></span></span>
<span><span><span><span><span><span>Investigators believe that in September, the suspect participated in illegal elections as a member of the “United Russia” party and thereby obtained a seat on the first-term council of the Gornostaivskyi Municipal District. She subsequently joined the illegal standing committee on budgetary issues, the economy, and investments, and later joined the “committee on organizing and conducting public hearings to discuss the draft resolution on the adoption of the 2024 budget for the Gornostaivskyi Municipal District.”</span></span></span></span></span></span>
<span><span><span><span><span><span>As a “council member,” she participated in drafting regulatory acts governing the financing of pseudo-government bodies and held personal meetings with citizens. She regularly participated in political rallies and cultural events promoting the traditions and holidays of the aggressor state, and imposed the ideology of the Russian Federation on the local population. In particular, the suspect took part in official events organized in honor of the Russian Federation president’s inauguration in 2024. </span></span></span></span></span></span>
Previously, an indictment was filed against a resident of the Kherson region who headed the illegal “territorial department” of the occupation administration in Nova Mayachka and urged local residents to obtain Russian passports.
