The SSU has established the identities of all the traitors who joined the ‘main directorate of the ministry of internal affairs in Zaporizhzhia region’ set up by the aggressor. 17 of them have been notified of suspicion.

One of the leaders of this pseudo-formation is a former security guard of the traitorous MP Yevhen Balytskyi, current head of the occupation administration in the region.

Following the orders of russian supervisors, the so-called ‘MVD’ [MIA] suppresses resistance and intimidates residents of temporarily occupied territories. To do this, they use repressive measures, massive persecution and detention of citizens for trumped-up reasons.

There are documented cases when they kidnapped people, subjected to violence and threatened to kill them.

Collaborators also illegally break into homes of locals who have left for Ukraine-controlled territory. During such ‘searches’, they steal money, household appliances and other personal belongings.

In addition, the fake law enforcement imposed a ‘tribute’ on local entrepreneurs, including heads of farms, which they have to pay for the opportunity to conduct commercial activities.

The SSU has collected all the identifying data on each collaborator, documented their criminal activities and established their whereabouts and movement routes as currently they are hiding from justice in the temporarily occupied territory of Zaporizhzhia region.

These are some of them, members of the ‘leadership’ of the occupation authority:

ELIVANOV O.S. – deputy chief of the ‘regional’ directorate;

• KOSHEL O.V. – chief of Melitopol inter-district directorate;
• CHUDAK V.V. – chief of Kamianka-Dniprovska district unit;
• RAKYTNIANSKYI S.O. - first deputy chief of Berdyansk department;
• ORLOV V.V. – chief of criminal investigation department of Melitopol inter-district directorate;
• ALIPOV O.E. – deputy chief of Tokmak district unit;
• SHOPOV S.P. – chief of the ‘people’s militia’ in the temporarily occupied village of Velyka Bilozerka, Vasylivka district;
• MITLENKO Yu.V. – chief of the passport office of Tokmak inter-district unit;
• MIKHEEV V.V. – chief of the ‘inter-district directorate of the ministry of internal affairs of Zaporizhzhia region in Melitopol.’

Investigation is underway to bring every traitor and collaborator to justice for crimes against Ukraine.

The SSU emphasizes the inevitability of punishment for collaboration with the occupiers.

The SSU has been working on the case under the procedural supervision of Zaporizhzhia Region Prosecutor’s Office.
