What is happening

What the sources report

Yulia Mendel, former press spokeswoman for Zelensky, faces charges of high treason, the Ukrainian prosecutor's office announced.[1]

Mendel served as spokesperson for Zelensky from 2019 to 2021.[1]

According to the prosecution, prosecutors gathered sufficient evidence to consider her a suspect for high treason and for justifying the Russian military attack.[2]

Investigators accuse her of saying that there is no freedom of expression in Ukraine and that the country is heading towards extinction, and of speaking of a clientelist relationship in politics and the persecution of dissenters.[2]

Mendel rejected the charges in a message on Telegram, arguing that the wording of the charge proves she is right.[2]
