Former advisor to Kherson regional administration head forged documents

The Kherson City Court approved a plea agreement between the prosecutor and <b>Vadym Glushko</b>, a former advisor to the head of the Kherson Regional Military Administration.

This became known from the relevant court verdict .

He was charged with using forged medical documents to evade conscription during mobilization. Glushko entered into a plea agreement on September 16, fully admitting his guilt. According to the verdict, he pledged to transfer UAH 250 thousand to the Army of Drones project to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In addition, the court fined Vadym Hlushko UAH 51 thousand. Glushko was suspected under Article 358(4) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine - use of a knowingly forged document, and Article 336 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine - evasion of military service during mobilization, and could have faced up to 5 years in prison.

The investigation began in March 2025, when the SBU filed a motion with the court to gain access to Glushko's original medical records, which were kept at the Luchansky Hospital. The investigator then believed that Glushko, in order to avoid mobilization, had given an undue benefit to the hospital director, Andriy Fedotov, and a member of the military medical commission, for which they had given him a fictitious diagnosis and secured a deferral. Earlier, in August 2025, the Central District Court of Mykolaiv had already imposed a preventive measure on Glushko, which obliged him to personally appear in court and not to communicate with witnesses in his case.

Earlier, the Kherson City Court found 60-year-old lawyer Tetiana Mitrofanova guilty of aiding the enemy. In the spring of 2022, she headed the legal department of the occupation administration of the Kherson region and participated in the work of an illegal commission that replaced the court and performed punitive functions.

According to the investigation, this commission was involved in extending the terms of detention of persons held in a pre-trial detention center during the occupation, recognizing sentences that had not entered into force as having entered into force, changing preventive measures, sending people to serve their sentences, and releasing some people early.

The court convicted Mitrofanova in absentia under Part 1 of Article 111-2 of the Criminal Code - aiding the enemy. The sentence provides for 12 years in prison and confiscation of property: a third of a 56.7-square-meter apartment and a share in the authorized capital of the private enterprise Law Firm Capital.
