In September 2022, the woman took up the position of the so-called "head of the Fedorivske territorial department of the Kakhovka military-civilian administration".
According to the Kherson Region Prosecutor's Office, in this position, she organized the work of the illegal body, demanded compliance with the regime established by the occupation forces, organized and conducted personal receptions of citizens.

The verdict was passed in absentia. The convict will serve her sentence from the moment of her arrest.
