Enemy special service agents from Kherson confirmed life imprisonment

A nurse from Kherson was finally confirmed in her life sentence. During the occupation of the city, she passed information about the military and the positions of the Ukrainian Defense Forces to the FSB.

This is evidenced by the verdict of the Supreme Court.

The decision states that the defense counsel's cassation appeal was dismissed, and the verdict of the Kherson Court of Appeal of July 23, 2025 was upheld.

The investigation found that the nurse, working in a city hospital, collected personal data of Ukrainian defense lawyers during the preparation of medical documents and procedures. She used a messenger to pass on information about wounded soldiers, as well as information about the location, weapons and movement of the Armed Forces and other defense forces to an FSB representative. The enemy used this data to launch rocket and artillery attacks on the Kherson direction.

During the search, law enforcement officers seized a phone used by the defendant to contact her curator. Her actions were classified under Part 2 of Article 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine - high treason under martial law.

In July, the court of first instance sentenced her to life imprisonment with confiscation of property. According to media reports, the woman in question is 39-year-old Inna Kasperuk, a nurse at the Kherson City Hospital named after Karabelesh. From November 2022 to March 2023, she systematically passed on to the occupiers information about the military, as well as the coordinates of a number of strategic and civilian facilities, including the Kherson Machine-Building Plant, the Zhovten Metalworking Plant, a printing house, a bakery, an office center and the Crystal Stadium, an industrial zone on Mykolaiv Highway, an oil refinery, residential buildings, and medical facilities.

The woman fully pleaded guilty and stated that she acted for ideological reasons. She did not receive any material reward. Witnesses also confirmed that she had access to the registration logs, which contained personal data of Ukrainian military and law enforcement officers.

One of the SBU officers said that in March 2023, the woman persistently asked him about his place of residence, allegedly to enter it into his medical record. After the transfer of this data, the enemy shelled the areas she reported.

The court also found Svitlana Mezherytska, a member of the Kherson Regional Council and former head of the city's health department, guilty of collaboration. She was detained in March 2024. According to the case file, she helped the Russian occupiers to equip military hospitals in seized medical facilities.
