Ukrainian Member of Parliament Nestor Shufrych has been notified of a new suspicion of being involved in financing of the National Guard of Russia in Crimea, according to the evidence based collected by the State Bureau of Investigations (SBI).

"The SBI, jointly with the SBU [Security Service of Ukraine], have documented new evidence of anti-Ukrainian activities of MP Nestor Shufrych, who is already suspected of high treason. According to the investigation, the defendant developed a scheme of financing Russian occupation groups in the temporarily occupied Crimea," the SBI said on the Telegram channel on Thursday.

According to the state bureau, Shufrych, in particular, paid money to the National Guard of Russia for the militarized security guard services provided by it at his elite real estate on the peninsula.

Over three months in 2026 alone, a company controlled by the MP paid for such services more than RUR 500,000.

"Russian National Guard officers guarded an unfinished health improvement facility with a total area of more than 4,500 square meters located by the sea in the town of Simeiz. The piece of land more than 1.5 hectares in area, on which the facility is situation, is a part of the recreation area and borders 'Medvedchuk's villa'," the SBI said.

This property was acquired by the MP from the enterprises whose beneficial owner was Medvedchuk's wife Oksana Marchenko, the state bureau said, adding that a company headed by Shufrych's personal lawyer concluded the agreement.

"Later, the defendants organized the signing of a contract with the Russian National Guard structures on 'security guard' services for the facility in Crimea under which they transferred hundreds of thousands of Russian rubles to the occupiers' accounts every month. In addition, the company controlled by Shufrych regularly financed Russia's budget by paying taxes and duties," the SBI said.

During searches in the offices of the commercial structures affiliated with the MP and the defendants' buildings in Kyiv, documents, seals and other evidence of criminal activities were found.

Based on the documented facts, the SBI reported the suspicion to Shufrych and his lawyer under Part 3 of Article 110-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (financing of actions committed with the aim of forcibly changing or overthrowing the constitutional order or seizing state power, changing the boundaries of the territory or state border of Ukraine).

The procedural guidance is carried out by the Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine.
