The SSU has documented the unlawful activity of another 7 collaborators in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine.

One of them is Natalia Pisareva, head of the ‘administration of Chornomorske district of the Crimea’ established by the aggressor.

The local gauleiter Aksyonov personally approved her appointment to this ‘position’.

Prior to this, Pisareva was the so-called ‘first deputy minister of culture’ on the temporarily occupied peninsula. After the start of the full-scale invasion, she coordinated the enemy’s information campaign to support russia’s armed aggression.

At that time, the ‘deputy minister’ publicly called on Ukrainian defenders to surrender and urged Crimean population to join the russian army to fight against Ukraine. For this, the occupation ‘military commissariat’ awarded her a diploma.

Before 2014, Pisareva headed the regional project office of the Council of Ministers of the Autonomous Republic of the Crimea.

However, during the seizure of the peninsula, she supported russia and subsequently joined the so-called ‘personnel reserve’ of the occupation administration.

Another collaborator is a former official of the Office of Ukraine’s State Treasury Service in Luhansk region.

After part of the oblast was captured, the woman voluntarily agreed to the aggressor’s ‘offer’ to head the so-called ‘LNR treasury’.

She recruited five other accomplices to the fake institution. They were her former subordinates from Starobilsk, Novoaydar, Milove, Novopskov and Markivka districts.

Having joined, they became chiefs of district ‘departments of the LNR treasury service’ and participated in financial support of russia’s occupation groupings on the eastern front.

Based on the collected evidence, the SSU notified the offenders of suspicion of collaboration (Article 111-1.5 of the CCU).

The six ‘officials of the LNR treasury’ are also suspected of aiding the aggressor state.

The indictments have been sent to court. The suspects are facing 5 to 12 years in prison.

The investigation was carried out under the procedural supervision of the Prosecutor General’s Office.
