According to the investigation, a 61-year-old resident of a village in Chuhuyiv district volunteered to cooperate with russian occupiers shorty after the start of the invasion.

In particular, the collaborator:

• provided the invaders with food and housing;
• informed ruscists about homes of wealthy locals in order to steal appliances and cars from them;
