The sentence to the traitorous Sevastopol deputy remained in force

On October 27, 2025, the panel of judges of the Criminal Chamber of the Kyiv Court of Appeal considered the appeal filed by the defense on behalf of the accused Oleksandr Antonenkov. The verdict, handed down by the Sviatoshynskyi District Court of Kyiv on June 25, 2024, was appealed.

This was reported by the press service of the Kyiv Court of Appeal.

According to the said verdict, Oleksandr Antonenkov, a former deputy of the Sevastopol City Council of the VI convocation, was found guilty of committing high treason (Part 1 of Article 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine) and sentenced to 12 years in prison.

The court found that Antonenkov, ignoring the requirements of the Constitution, voted for the adoption of an illegal decision 'On participation in the all-Crimean referendum' on March 06, 2014 at an extraordinary meeting of the Sevastopol City Council. His actions were aimed at assisting representatives of the Russian Federation in conducting subversive activities against Ukraine.

Also, in Mykolaiv, a man was sentenced to 15 years in prison for high treason. The court found him guilty of collaborating with Russian special services and passing on intelligence about the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

The investigation found that in August 2024, the defendant initiated the cooperation himself by contacting the administrator of a pro-Russian channel via Telegram . He collected intelligence information, including the geolocation of Ukrainian anti-aircraft missile systems, including foreign-made ones, and data on the consequences of Russian attacks on military and infrastructure facilities.

In addition, he conducted surveillance from his high-rise building, recording the movement of Ukrainian troops towards the front, the number of vehicles and types of weapons. The traitor passed the data to Serhiy Lebedev, a pro-Kremlin blogger born in Mykolaiv (pseudonym 'Shaggy'). Currently, the traitor is hiding in Donetsk and cooperates with the FSB and Russian military intelligence.
