Full wording of the charges
According to the investigation, since March 2022, two Ukrainian servicemembers had been hiding in her home. To help them reach the non-occupied part of Ukraine, in December 2023 she photographed medical forms and samples of hospital records at the local hospital and sent them via messenger to an officer of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ military intelligence. He then sent her falsified documents for the people hiding in her home, asking her to print them and to hand over two SIM cards to the servicemembers. After that, the servicemembers tried to leave the occupied part of Luhansk Oblast "disguised as patients," but they were caught at a checkpoint, "where they disclosed their destination and the circumstances of their movement."
