The Security Service of Ukraine has documented war crimes committed by another two enemy collaborators working for the ruscists in the temporarily occupied part of Luhansk region. These individuals tortured Ukrainian prisoners of war, using hammers and electric shockers.

The collaborators are Roman Khainus, the so-called ‘deputy head of correctional colony No. 4 of the luhansk people’s republic’, and his subordinate Stanislav Prekrasny, holding the ‘position of an operative’ in the same institution.

According to the investigation, both are residents of the temporarily occupied part of Luhansk region and have been collaborating with the enemy since the region was captured.

Subsequently, the occupiers enrolled them in the repressive institution they had created, where members of the resistance movement and Ukrainian prisoners of war are imprisoned.

The investigation established that both perpetrators participated in the torture of prisoners in the occupation jail between 2022 and 2025.

They personally carried out regular beatings of the victims, including with carpentry hammers and electric shock devices.

The crimes committed by these enemy accomplices grossly violate the provisions of the Geneva Convention on the Treatment of Prisoners of War of 12 August 1949.

Based on the evidence, SSU investigators notified both culprits in absentia of suspicion under Articles 28.2 and 438.1 of the CCU (war crimes, committed by a group, upon prior conspiracy).

Efforts to bring the war criminals to justice are underway. Each of them will be punished for crimes against Ukraine.

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