The Prosecutor General's Office, together with the Security Service of Ukraine, exposed the current MP from the banned "Opposition Platform — For Life" (OPZZh), Fedor Khrystenko, for high treason. He turned out to be a resident (senior agent) of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation, working to strengthen Russian influence on the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU). 

After the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Fedor Khrystenko fled abroad and continued his illegal activities from there. It has been established that the People's Deputy was recruited by the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation during the regime of V. Yanukovych, and he actively carried out tasks for the Russian special services during the "Revolution of Dignity". 

During the investigation, evidence was obtained of his close contacts with Yuri Ivanyushchenko – a resident of the Russian special services in the territory of the so-called "DPR" and a collaborator, now deceased, Armen Sarkissian. 

According to the investigation, the suspect Fedor Khrystenko also established close relations with individual NABU officials. 

Among them is one of the heads of the interregional departments of NABU detectives, Ruslan Maghamedrasulov, who was today notified by the prosecutor's office of suspicion of aiding the aggressor state.  

Another official with whom the MP had contact is the head of the NABU detective unit, Oleksandr Skomarov. There is evidence that Skomarov's wife left the country in 2022 in a car belonging to the family of fugitive MP Khrystenko. 

It has been documented that subordinates of Oleksandr Skomarov, NABU detectives, on behalf of MP Khrystenko, helped Gennady Bogolyubov cross the state border. In particular, it was established that two employees of the Bureau accompanied the fugitive oligarch on a train during his escape abroad.

In addition, according to information available to the investigation, another Ukrainian oligarch, Ihor Kolomoisky, also planned to resolve his criminal cases with the help of Oleksandr Skomarov, if he won the competition for the head of the Bureau of Economic Security, in which he participated.

Prosecutors of the Prosecutor General's Office notified the People's Deputy Fedor Khrystenko in absentia of suspicion for high treason committed by prior conspiracy by a group of persons under martial law under paragraph 2 of Art. 28, paragraph 1, paragraph 2 of Art. 111 and abuse of influence under paragraph 2 of Art. 369-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

The pre-trial investigation is ongoing. Under the procedural supervision of the Prosecutor General's Office, the Security Service of Ukraine continues to document the facts of possible Russian intelligence infiltrations into the National Anti-Corruption Bureau and expose employees who cooperate with them.
