Security Service of Ukraine detained a local woman in Kherson for spying and providing intelligence to Russian MP Igor Kastyukevich, who was appointed by the Kremlin as a handler for occupied Kherson Oblast.

The woman subscribed to a social media account of Russian MP Igor Kastyukevich during the occupation and after liberation remotely offered to help adjust enemy attacks on Ukrainian Defense Forces facilities.

She walked the streets recording locations of Ukrainian units and sent information to Kastyukevich's channel, adjusting a Russian strike using multiple-launch rocket systems in summer 2023.

She was detained while attempting to pass new intelligence to the Russian MP, and a mobile phone with evidence was seized.

She received a notice of suspicion under Article 114-2-3 of the Criminal Code for unauthorized dissemination of information on weapons supply movements and Armed Forces deployment.

She faces up to 12 years in prison and is currently in custody.
