The Security Service of Ukrainehas documented new crimes committed by Valentina Matvienko, the head of the Council of the Federation of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation, who is facilitating Russia’s war against Ukraine.
In February 2022, she signed the decision of the upper house of the Russian parliament to send troops of the aggressor country into the territory of our country.
In addition, the official approved the ratification of agreements on the “accession” of the temporarily occupied parts of Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions to the Russian Federation.
It is currently coordinating the spread of the Kremlin regime in these territories under the guise of their integration into the “legislative field” of Russia.
She also continues to publicly spread fakes about the Ukrainian Defense Forces and the situation at the front.
At the same time, Matvienko continues to publicly spread Russian propaganda. In numerous appearances on Russian propaganda TV channels, the official denies the existence of Ukraine as a sovereign state and calls for its complete annexation.
The forensic linguistic examination initiated by the SBU confirmed the facts of the suspect’s criminal activity against our state.
Based on the new evidence, investigators notified her in absentia of suspicion under two articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine:
🔹ч. 3 of Article 110 (encroachment on the territorial integrity and inviolability of Ukraine);
🔹ч. 3 of Article 436-2 (justification of the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine).
Earlier, Matviyenko had already received a suspicion in absentia of incitement to start and wage an aggressive war.
Since the offender is in Russia, comprehensive measures are being taken to bring her to justice for crimes against our country.
