On November 10, 2026, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) detained a woman in Uzhhorod who held a leadership position in the occupying enterprise 'Donbasgaz'. The detainee is a resident of the Volnovakha district and a former head of the gas supply and gasification management section of this enterprise.
Switching to the enemy's side
After the capture of the settlement of Donske, the woman switched to the side of the Russian occupiers. In 2022–2023, she held a leadership position in the captured gas enterprise, where she actively facilitated the transfer of Ukrainian gas networks under the control of the aggressor.
Actions regarding local subscribers
The detainee organized the connection of local residents to gas supply under the 'DNR tariffs', which allowed for filling the budget of the aggressor country. Her actions included:
- re-registration of seized facilities and equipment;
- providing gas supply services to local subscribers;
- supporting the activities of the occupying enterprise.
Detention and consequences
The woman arrived in Uzhhorod via third countries for personal matters. The SBU established the fact of her entry into the territory controlled by Ukraine and detained her in a rented apartment in Transcarpathia. She was informed of suspicion of aiding the aggressor state, which could lead to a penalty of up to 12 years in prison with confiscation of property.
