A Russian military court has sentenced two residents of the temporarily occupied Mykhailivka, Zaporizhia region, to 16 and eight years in prison. 52-year-old Natalia Tseluyko was accused of collaborating with Ukrainian intelligence and preparing an explosion against occupation forces, and her 54-year-old acquaintance Muira Zdor was accused of transporting components of an explosive device.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The verdicts were reported<\/a> by Russian media with reference to the Southern District Military Court of the Russian Federation.<\/p>\n

According to the Russian investigation, in the fall of 2023, Tseluyko allegedly began cooperating with an employee of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. Investigators claim that she provided Ukrainian intelligence with information about the locations of Russian military personnel, their equipment, and personnel.<\/p>\n

The woman was also accused of preparing an explosion against representatives of the so-called Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Zaporizhia region, created by the occupiers. According to Russian law enforcement officers, on June 5, 2024, she went to a hiding place to pick up an improvised explosive device, but was detained on the same day.<\/p>\n

Muira Zdor, who was driving her, was detained along with Celujko. The Russian side claims that Zdor helped transport the components of the explosive device, but allegedly did not know about the charges against her acquaintance and her alleged involvement in a terrorist group.<\/p>\n

Despite this, the court found Zdor guilty and sentenced her to eight years in a penal colony. Tseluyko received 16 years in a general regime penal colony.<\/p>\n

In addition to imprisonment, both women were fined: Tseluyko must pay 500,000 rubles, and Zdor – 300,000 rubles.<\/p>\n

The charges are based on the version of Russian law enforcement agencies. The sentencing report contains no independent confirmation of the women’s involvement in the actions they are accused of.<\/p>\n

As a reminder, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine expressed a strong protest over the illegal verdict of the Southern District Military Court of the Russian Federation, which on October 17 sentenced 15 prisoners of war fighters of the 24th separate assault battalion \u201cAidar\u201d<\/a> . The Russian court sentenced the defenders to sentences ranging from sixteen to twenty-one years in prison.<\/p>\n

As reported, a military court in Rostov-on-Don sentenced Ukrainian prisoner of war, Azov Brigade fighter Dmytro Remez. The 33-year-old defender was sentenced to 18 years in a strict regime colony.<\/a><\/p>\n
