During the battles for the city in March 2022, Valentina Chekhova gave seven seriously wounded soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to the Russian army, who were hospitalized at the local hospital where she worked.
The traitor received life imprisonment
Thanks to the evidence base of the Security Service of Ukraine (SSU), Valentina Chekhova, an ophthalmologist from one of the medical facilities in the temporarily occupied Mariupol, who defected to the enemy, was sentenced to life imprisonment in absentia.

During the battles for the city in March 2022, the official transferred seven seriously wounded soldiers of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, who were hospitalized at the local hospital where she worked.
According to the investigation, this happened after the seizure of the medical facility, when a group of invaders led by a Russian soldier with the call sign "Ossetyn" tried to identify Ukraine's Defense Forces fighters among the patients.
Aware of such a threat to the Ukrainian defenders, the medical staff of the hospital promptly destroyed their uniforms, documents and military ammunition.
After that, the wounded defenders of Mariupol were registered as civilian patients who suffered as a result of intense hostilities in the city.
However, Chekhova, during the "ward" tour of the medical institution, together with the occupiers, showed them the beds on which the hospitalized soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were lying. After that, the Rashists imprisoned the seriously wounded Ukrainian defenders and took them to the Russian torture chamber, where they were brutally tortured.
It was also established that in addition to the servicemen of the Defense Forces, the traitor pointed "Osetin" to one of the doctors who was trying to save the wounded soldiers. After learning about this, the occupiers took away the man's documents and car and threatened to prepare for a "slow death". At the last moment, the doctor managed to escape by escaping during the change of "guards", who were posted by the Russian invaders around the perimeter of the medical facility.
As the investigation was established, for cooperation with the occupiers, their accomplice received an "incentive" in the form of an "appointment to the position of head of the ophthalmology department" of the occupied hospital.
The court found Chekhova guilty under Chapter 2 of Art based on the collected evidence. 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (treason committed under martial law) and sentenced her to life imprisonment in absentia.
Since the traitor is in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine, comprehensive measures are being taken to bring her to justice.
The SSU reported the suspicion to the occupation official

In particular, "junior soldiers" are trained in combat tactics, conduct fire and sabotage-reconnaissance training, and generally prepare for a war against Ukraine.
According to the SSU, by the end of 2024, the terrorists plan to include every 10th child and teenager from Crimea in the ranks of the "Young Army".
In order to carry out the "demobilization" of Moscow, Romanovska gives direct instructions to the directors of local schools to forcibly involve students in the military formation of the aggressor country, the press service writes.
In case of refusal by the parents, the latter is threatened with an "appeal" to the punitive authorities of Russia on the peninsula's territory.
