In Kharkiv and Kherson regions, the SSU detained another two collaborators who worked for russia at the beginning of the full-scale war.

One of them is a former official of Kupiansk City Council, who voluntarily joined the russian occupation administration after the area was occupied.

There, he was appointed ‘chief specialist of construction department’.

In this ‘position’, the collaborator was engaged in the reconstruction of buildings destroyed by the ruscists for their further use by the aggressor state.

In such buildings, the enemy housed occupation forces personnel and set up ammunition depots.

After the de-occupation, the man fled to Kharkiv and was hiding there as an internally displaced person.

The SSU found him and detained in his rented apartment.

Another enemy accomplice is a resident of Kherson. After the city’s seizure, she joined the occupation ‘election commission’.

The woman was a member of the so-called ‘mobile voting groups’ that visited homes of local residents and campaigned for support of the sham referendum.

She demanded that people sign ‘ballots on the accession’ of the region to russia.

After Kherson’s liberation, the collaborator remained in the city and tried to hide from prosecution.

The SSU documented her criminal actions and apprehended her.

Both supporters of the aggressor were notified of suspicion under the Articles of the CCU:

• 111-1.2 (collaboration);
• 28.2, 111-1.5 (collaboration, committed upon prior conspiracy, by a group).

The suspects face up to 10 years in prison with confiscation of property.

The operations were carried out by the SSU Offices in Kharkiv and Kherson regions jointly with the National Police under the procedural supervision of the Prosecutor’s Office.
