In the course of stabilization efforts in the liberated districts of Kharkiv and Kherson regions, the SSU exposed another three enemy accomplices.

One of them is a former official of the licensing and permits department of Kupiansk Town Council.

After the temporary seizure of the town, she supported russian invaders and voluntarily joined the occupation administration.

With her ‘appointment’, the collaborator began to follow the kremlin’s instructions to reorganize the work of local Ukrainian businesses for russia’s benefit.

To do this, the woman forced entrepreneurs to have their permits and licenses ‘re-issued’ for conducting business according to the russian model.

After Kupiansk’s liberation, the collaborator moved to her mother’s house in Kharkiv, hoping to evade justice.

However, the SSU found and brought her to Kupiansk District Prosecutor’s Office, where she was served a notice of suspicion.

Another collaborator is a 65-year-old resident of Vovchansk, Kharkiv oblast, who voluntarily agreed to head the local ‘pension fund department’ set up by the aggressor during the occupation.

In this ‘position’, the woman recruited ‘staff’ for the fake institution. The ‘official’ also handed over to the occupation authorities personal data of locals who were in a difficult financial situation. This was done to help moscow implement its plans of forced passportization of the population in the occupied territories.

In Kherson, the SSU exposed a local former driving school instructor.

After Kherson’s temporary seizure, he joined the ranks of the occupation ‘main directorate of the interior ministry in Kherson region’.

‘Leaders’ of the pseudo-institution appointed him a ‘specialist of vehicle registration unit’.

Under the guise of re-registering cars, he was forcing local population to re-register their vehicles under russian license plates.

After Kherson’s liberation, the offender, trying to evade punishment, changed three addresses.

But the SSU found and detained him in a village near the regional center.

All three enemy accomplices have been notified of suspicion of collaboration (Article 111-1 of the CCU).

The court has chosen custody as a measure of restraint for two of them. The investigations are ongoing.

The SSU carried out the activities jointly with the National Police under the procedural supervision of the Prosecutor General’s Office, Kharkiv and Kherson Regional Prosecutor’s Offices.
