Skorokhod and other defendants are accused of attempting to organize sanctions against a company for $250 thousand.
Before the court will appear Member of Parliament Anna Skorokhod and other members of the criminal group who, according to the investigation, offered to arrange for the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine to impose sanctions on a company for $250 thousand. This was reported by Hlavcom with reference to the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine.
According to the investigation, $250 thousand were allegedly to be handed over to RNBO officials as payment for adopting the sanction decision. To conceal the scheme and guarantee payment, the company’s representative was asked to write an IOU claiming the funds were a loan.
Later the group members received $125 thousand and assured the “client” that this money would be handed to officials of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine (RNBO). In fact, the funds remained with the defendants because they were unable to find a person willing to carry out the illegal actions.
In December 2025, the current Member of Parliament and her associates were notified of suspicion. The pretrial investigation lasted until June 2026.
One member of the group reached a plea agreement with investigators and gave incriminating testimony against the other defendants. The High Anti-Corruption Court sentenced him to five years’ imprisonment while simultaneously suspending the sentence with a probationary period. In addition, under the terms of the agreement the convicted person transferred 700 thousand hryvnias to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine via the United24 platform.
Recall that recently Anna Skorokhod made a number of statements that were later picked up by Russian propaganda media. In particular, the MP claimed the alleged illegitimacy of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and advocated enshrining a neutral status for Ukraine in the Constitution and removing the reference to the course of joining NATO.
Skorokhod also advised to “re-listen to Valdai” when commenting on the prospects for an energy truce.
