During stabilization measures in the liberated areas of Mykolaiv oblast, the SSU detained another two enemy accomplices.

They are residents of Snihurivka, who voluntarily joined the invaders’ administration during the occupation. They were appointed chiefs of the ‘accounting department’ and the ‘social security department’.

While in their ‘positions’, they forced locals to provide personal data to the enemy administration under the pretext of further payment of ‘social benefits’ in russian rubles.

However, the enemy actually used the collected personal information to prepare and conduct the sham referendum during the occupation of the area.

In addition, the collaborators helped spread the kremlin’s regime and called people to support the invaders. For this, they ‘guaranteed’ payment of russian salaries and pensions.

However, after the de-occupation, the two women tried to flee to russia to avoid justice.

They did not manage to do that – the SSU located and detained them.

Both offenders were notified of suspicion of collaboration (Article 111-1.5 of the CCU). Court is to decide on custody as a measure of restraint for the suspects. The pre-trial investigation is ongoing.

The SSU Office in Mykolaiv Region carried out the operation under the procedural supervision of Mykolaiv Region Prosecutor’s Office.
