The wife of Deputy Prosecutor General Maksym Krym and her parents received Russian passports in April 2014 year — after the occupation of Crimea began.
These data were found by the project KibOrg, which located them in Russian databases, according to Slidstvo.Info.
Maksym Krym is one of the deputy prosecutors general. By law, under the current conditions, when the Prosecutor General and his first deputy are absent, he can head the Office of the Prosecutor General.
Sources at LIGA.net say that it was Maksym Krym who approved the decision to remove from the Unified Register of Pre-Trial Investigations the information about the suspicion of director of NABU Semen Kryvonos, which was signed by then Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko.
According to Slidstvo.Info, Maksym Krym’s wife Hanna Krym received a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation 2 in April 2014 year. The document indicates registration in Sevastopol.
Her father Vyacheslav Yushkov and mother Larisa Yushkova received Russian passports 30 2014 year. Both were also registered in Sevastopol. It should be noted that after 18 March, Russia rolled out forced passportization in Crimea and effectively issued its passports to all residents of Crimea. Those who wanted to keep Ukrainian citizenship had to personally submit a refusal to the Russian passport at designated migration service points.
As of 2026 year, information about Hanna Krym’s Russian passport remains current. At the same time, editors have not been able to determine whether she annulled this passport or whether she uses it currently.
In 2014 year Maksym Krym served in the Military Prosecutor’s Office of the Crimean region. According to then Chief Military Prosecutor Anatoliy Matios, in spring 2014 year Krym along with Ruslan Kravchenko destroyed the Crimean Prosecutor’s Office documents on supervision in the military sphere and left for mainland Ukraine. Matios told Babbel.
Hanna Krym is from Sevastopol. We obtained crossing-the-border records. After obtaining the Russian passport she continued to travel from the mainland to Crimea. Presumably to visit parents who remained living in Sevastopol. She last left Armansk in October 2015 year.
Her father Vyacheslav Yushkov wrote in his profile on Odnoklassniki in 2016 year that 30 years he worked at sea, and at the time of the post he was a guard at Sevtelyplosety.
Hanna Krym’s mother Larisa Yushkova writes about spiritual practices on social networks and follows related topics in Telegram channels. According to data available to the editors, Larisa Yushkova flew to Russia from 2015 to 2021 year several times.
We also searched for Maksym and Hanna Krym’s pages on social networks. Among the found items is Hanna Krym’s inactive Odnoklassniki profile with photos from 2012 year.
Slidstvo.Info reached out to Maksym Krym to determine whether he knew about his wife’s and her relatives’ Russian passports, what their relationship with them is, and whether he maintains connections with relatives living in Crimea.
Editors also tried to get comments from Hanna Krym and her mother Larisa Yushkova.
Separately, reporters sent inquiries to the Office of the Prosecutor General and the Security Service of Ukraine. We asked the SBU whether they checked Maksym Krym given the presence of Russian citizenship among his relatives and what the results of such a check were.
As of publication, the editors had not received replies from Maksym Krym, Hanna Krym, Larisa Yushkova, the Office of the Prosecutor General, or the SBU.
