SSU declares another 26 collaborators suspects - ‘officials of russian MIA’ involved in repressions in temporarily occupied Kherson region

The SSU and the National Police have identified and collected evidence on another 26 collaborators who joined the occupation ‘main directorate of russia’s ministry of internal affairs in Kherson region’.

In the ranks of the pseudo-institution, they are ‘serving’ a criminal organization – ‘Kakhovsky department of the russian ministry of internal affairs’.

Six of them are on ‘senior positions’. The rest were assigned to the ‘investigation, criminal investigation, HR and duty units’.

In the ranks of the occupation ‘authority’, the collaborators take part in mass repressions against local population to break their resistance to the aggressor.

These ‘officials’, under the FSB’s direction, tried to disperse pro-Ukrainian gatherings of Kakhovka residents.

During ‘raids’, the ruscists kidnapped people and imprisoned them in russian torture chambers on the left bank of Kherson region.

The victims were subjected to brutal torture as the enemy accomplices wanted to force them to cooperate with the enemy.

The perpetrators also broke into the homes of Ukrainian patriots and stole private property, including money and cars, under the pretext of ‘searches’.

The collaborators were also involved in the protection of ‘election commissions’ during fake plebiscites in the temporarily occupied part of the region.

The SSU and the National Police have collected evidence, documented the suspects’ crimes and established their main locations.

Based on the evidence, SSU investigators have notified the traitors of suspicion in absentia under the Articles of the CCU:
