Since russia started its full-scale aggression, the SSU has been investigating over 800 criminal proceedings on collaboration.

The suspects include high-ranking officials of state institutions in the temporarily occupied territories of the South and East of Ukraine.

The SSU has documented the unlawful actions of the deputy director of the Department of Construction and Infrastructure Development of Kherson Region State Administration. The official voluntarily agreed to cooperate with the enemy.

For this, the aggressors appointed him head of the so-called ‘state unitary enterprise Kherson railways.’

In his position, he organized the appropriation of technological equipment and rolling stock of local Ukrzaliznytsia [Ukrainian railways] units for the benefit of the occupation administration.

The collaborator personally assisted in the transfer of russian armored military vehicles and ammunition from the temporarily occupied Crimea to the Black Sea coast of Kherson region by railway.

The SSU has located this official and is taking steps to hold him to account for crimes against Ukraine.

In addition, the SSU exposed four former representatives of the Party of Regions in Luhansk region. They voluntarily agreed to join the leadership of the occupation administration of the so-called ‘LNR Starobilsk district.’

The SSU has established the identity of each collaborator, documented their crimes and notified them of suspicion.

The SSU will continue efforts to expose and bring accomplices of the occupiers to justice.
