Former Zelenskyy spokeswoman in Ukraine suspected of treason over interviews and posts
Ukrainian prosecutors suspect a woman who once spoke on behalf of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of treason. They say Russian state media used her statements, while she argues Zelenskyy has proved her right.
A woman who once spoke publicly on behalf of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is now suspected of treason in Ukraine, according to Euromaidan Press, an outlet covering the war and politics in Ukraine. The suspicion relates to her interviews and social media posts.
What prosecutors say
Prosecutors state that Russian state media used her statements. That claim underlies the suspicion. The material available does not specify which remarks are considered problematic, and it does not say whether the case has reached court.
Her position
The woman, for her part, says Zelenskyy has just proved her right. The source does not clarify which decision or step by the president she is referring to.
Only this brief outline of the case is known at present, so the course of the investigation, the possible penalty and the next procedural steps remain unclear. Such cases are sensitive in Ukraine, which has been at war with Russia for several years and closely watches how public statements are used in Russian propaganda.
