According to the indictment, Kanforkina sent her application form from a Russian email address to the organization banned in Russia.After this, a representative of the "Legion" contacted her on Telegram. In the summer of the same year, Kanforkina recorded a video address to the "Legion," pledged to cooperate, and took the call sign "Afolina." At that time, the "Legion" had already been recognized as a terrorist organization.

In September, Kanforkina was allegedly instructed to gather information about how the National Helicopter Engineering Center in Lyubertsy, near Moscow, was guarded. She managed to film the enterprise's fence and sent the video to her curators. After this, according to her, she was given the task of studying a secret object.

In court, she stated that she had cooperated with a Ukrainian military organization because she was allegedly involved in rescuing animals from dangerous territories.
