Following SSU’s investigation, another 3 collaborators who betrayed Ukrainian patriots and held russian sham referenda sentenced to prison terms

After the SSU’s investigations, the court has convicted another 3 enemy accomplices, who collaborated with russia after occupation of parts of Kharkiv and Kherson oblasts.

Then they were appointed to russia’s occupation administrations. There, they provided invaders with information on resistance movement members, participated in looting of local property and held illegal referenda.

For example, one of the convicted individuals headed the occupation authority in Kindrashivska village community, and another became an ‘assistant’ to the gauleiter of Chuhuiv district, Kharkiv region.

While in their ‘positions’, they assisted the aggressor in spreading the kremlin regime and suppressing resistance to the ruscists.

To do this, they showed the occupiers the addresses of participants of the Anti-Terrorist Operation and families of Ukrainian defenders.

The traitors also ‘guided’ the invaders to private households from which people had left for Ukraine-controlled territory. The enemy servicemen, together with their accomplices, looted these homes.

The SSU Military Counterintelligence detained both criminals during stabilization efforts in the liberated areas.

Another collaborator is a woman from Beryslav district, Kherson region. After the occupation, she joined russia’s ‘election commission’ in the village of Dudchany.

Serving this fake institution, the ‘commission member’ made door-to-door visits to private homes and called on her fellow villagers to ‘vote for the region’s accession’ to russia.

During such raids, the collaborator had a ‘ballot box’ for fake ballots.

She was also accompanied by armed occupiers who threatened people with prison if they refused to ‘vote’.

For her cooperation with the aggressor, she was paid a ‘one-time’ reward of RUB 50,000.

The SSU detained the enemy accomplice after the de-occupation of the right-bank Kherson oblast.

Based on the evidence, the court found all three accused guilty under Article 111-1.5 of the CCU (collaboration) and sentenced them to 6 years in prison.

The investigations were carried out by the SSU Offices in Kharkiv and Kherson regions under the procedural supervision of the Prosecutor’s Office.
