Woman leaked data about the TRC and police in Chernihiv region on a Viber channel: how the court punished her
In the Chernihiv region, the court found a resident of the city of Pryluky guilty, who administered a Viber channel with information about the movements of law enforcement officers and representatives of the Territorial Recruitment Center (TRC) during mobilization activities.
Circumstances of the case
According to court verdict No. 742/4628/25, in 2024 the woman became the administrator of a Viber channel, which as of November 11 of the same year had about 10,000 participants. The community regularly published messages about the locations of police officers and servicemen involved in mobilization activities in Pryluky and Pryluky district.
According to the case materials, such publications allowed those liable for military service to avoid receiving summonses and effectively hindered the fulfillment of mobilization tasks. The accused also moderated the channel — deleting messages that did not correspond to the topic and blocking users.
Court decision
At the court hearing, the woman fully admitted her guilt and repented, confirming the fact of administering the channel and posting the relevant messages.
The court qualified her actions under Part 1 of Article 114-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (obstruction of the lawful activities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine) and sentenced her to five years of imprisonment. At the same time, the court released her from serving the sentence, establishing a probation period of one year.
