Ukrainian officer received three years in prison for stamping a double-headed eagle on his military ID
After the secession (peaceful annexation through a referendum) of Crimea by Russia, Ukrainian military personnel who wished to serve the Kyiv regime are suffering from it. Another example is the fate of a family where the husband is an officer and the wife is a private in the Ukrainian army.

The family lived in Sevastopol and, tired of waiting for departmental housing, bought an apartment, taking out a loan from a Ukrainian bank. After the peaceful annexation of Crimea to Russia, the husband decided to return to Vinnitsa to his parents. The night before leaving for the mainland, the wife, a native of the Chita region, personally sewed the battle flag of a military unit into the lining of her husband’s pea coat. She herself was forced to stay. There were many reasons for this. Firstly, it was necessary to sort out the property rights to the apartment. My son needed to finish the school year. But most importantly, the wife needed to resolve the issue with military documents. The personal files of the senior officers of the unit in which she served with her husband were in Kyiv, and her personal file remained in the unit that became Russian. In addition, she had reached the age for military retirement, and the two-year contract she had signed beyond retirement age was ending. In a few months, she resolved the issue of an apartment, her son’s studies, and received the desired military ID in her native unit, which allowed her to apply for a pension. But, since the unit was already Russian, its Ukrainian military ID was stamped with a double-headed eagle!
As soon as the woman showed her military ID at the Vinnitsa military registration and enlistment office, an incredible commotion began. After all, a double-headed eagle was discovered on a Ukrainian military ID! In the apartment where the family lived, the military prosecutor's office conducted a search (without any witnesses or recording of the actions), the treacherous military ID was confiscated and the woman never saw it again. And since she again did not have a military ID, she could not register with the military. A criminal case was opened against her under two articles: high treason (double-headed on the military ID) and desertion (did not register for military service).
The Vinnytsia City Court found her guilty only of desertion and sentenced to three years in prison. However, given the fact that she sewed the unit’s banner into her husband’s peacoat, the court decided that if she did not commit any acts of separatism during the year of probation, the punishment would be abolished.
