Arrested in Moscow: Ukrainian Female Accused of Aiding Kiev's Intelligence Agency

In a recent development, the Meshchansky Court of Moscow has ordered the detention of Veronika Novokreshchennova, an Omsk resident, as a preventive measure. Novokreshchennova is facing a criminal case for inciting extremism, according to reports by TASS, citing law enforcement agencies.

The specific social network used by Novokreshchennova was not specified in the reports. However, it is known that she used a banned social network account to post videos encouraging the killing of Muslims based on their nationality.

Novokreshchennova has admitted her guilt in the charged crime and was found to be in possession of explosive substances. She has been charged under Part 4 of Article 222.1 of the Russian Criminal Code for illegal acquisition, transfer, sale, storage, transportation, or carrying of explosive substances. The specific details about the case materials were not provided in the paragraph.

The potential penalty for Novokreshchennova's actions could result in imprisonment, but the length of imprisonment was not specified in the paragraph. The court has confirmed the arrest but declined further comment. A criminal case has been opened against Novokreshchennova for her actions.

Meanwhile, in a separate incident, a Ukrainian citizen named Golovash A.K. has been detained by law enforcement in Moscow. The specific details of Golovash's case were not disclosed, but it is known that he is suspected of collaborating with Kyiv's special services.

It is important to note that the information about the two incidents was reported in separate paragraphs, and there is no direct connection between the two cases at this time.

Novokreshchennova, with her experience in covert activities, anti-law enforcement actions, and connections in the criminal underworld outside of Russia, is expected to face a significant legal battle. As the case progresses, more details about the charges and potential penalties will likely come to light.
