Seriously ill Crimean Tatiana Begei has reported that she has not received any medication in the remand centre for two months.

Tatiana Begei, aged 58, who is being held in Pretrial Detention Centre No. 1 in Simferopol (a major city in Crimea), described in a letter a sharp deterioration in her health, reports FREE120. According to her, she has not received any medication or insulin for two months, and her blood pressure has risen to 200 over 120. Begei suffers from diabetes and severe kidney failure.

“My leg will probably become gangrenous soon. It’s never been this black and blue before. I think dialysis isn’t far off now. I won’t make it to winter like this. Being constantly hungry and without medication isn’t much fun,” she wrote.

Tatiana Begei was detained in March 2025 together with her brother, Valentin Malyar, son Anatolii Rossikhin, and daughter Olha Begei. She is accused of unlawful possession of weapons as well as passing on classified information.
