MP Bezugla accused former MP Savchenko of frontline collapse, while Savchenko accused Bezugla of treason and disclosure of state secrets

A conflict erupted on social media between former member of parliament Nadiya Savchenko and current MP Maryana Bezuhla.

Last week, Bezuhla claimed on her social media accounts that Savchenko, now serving as a company commander in a Territorial Defense Brigade, was responsible for a collapse of the front near Ocheretyne in the Donetsk region. Bezuhla urged the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) to investigate Savchenko’s actions.

“It was her unauthorized and unexpected order to withdraw a unit that triggered a domino effect in Ocheretyne, leading to cascading developments that facilitated Russian advances toward Pokrovsk,” Bezuhla wrote.

Today, Savchenko responded on Facebook, stating that she too had reached out to the SBU and the State Bureau of Investigations (SBI) to request an inquiry into Bezuhla’s activities, suspecting state treason and the disclosure of classified information.

According to Savchenko, over the past two years of the war, Bezuhla has allegedly used her social media presence, while having access to state secrets, to “systematically disseminate messages regarding the defense capabilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, their staffing levels, supply status, defensive fortifications or their absence in specific areas, the presence of senior military leadership at certain positions, the structure of decision-making within the military command, and the composition of General Staff officers, among other sensitive information she has become privy to through her high-level clearance as an MP, thereby causing unjustified harm to Ukraine’s territorial integrity and independence in the war against Russian occupiers, and reducing the security of the state.”

“In light of this, I urge the State Bureau of Investigations to conduct an inquiry into the activities of MP Maryana Bezuhla and provide a legal assessment of her actions,” Savchenko wrote.
