Russian authorities in occupied Mariupol said that Kateryna Dorozhko-Piven, 36, had been sentenced to 14 years in a penal colony on charges of treason and unlawful possession of a weapon.
According to the Russian Federal Security Service's office in the occupied part of Donetsk region, she sent information about Russian military positions to Ukrainian intelligence contacts via Telegram and collected an assault rifle and ammunition from a cache. In testimony made public by the agency, she said she had initially believed a request to film a site concerned trucks parked there. These allegations and the circumstances of the testimony have not been independently verified.
