Under the procedural supervision of the Sumy Regional Prosecutor’s Office, a 46-year-old resident of Konotop has been notified of her status as a suspect for facilitating the illegal smuggling of conscripts across Ukraine’s state border.
According to the investigation, the woman offered a conscript, who has a son to support, the opportunity to register as the father of her two minor children.
This would subsequently have enabled him to cross the border unhindered, reports Censor.NET.
