Earlier, a verdict was handed down to a former official from the Kherson region who agreed to head the so-called “Kakhovka Territorial Election Commission,” established by the Russian Federation’s occupation administration. She organized the preparation and conduct of sham elections to the illegal “Council of Deputies”: she issued credentials to members of precinct commissions, compiled voter lists, certified the voting results, and participated in the first meeting of the occupying body.

Prior to the occupation, she was implicated in a scandal involving violations during the procurement of food for kindergartens in Kakhovka.
