Collaborators carried out Moscow’s task of spreading the Kremlin regime and suppressing the resistance movement in the region.

The Security Service of Ukraine collected evidence of the guilt of three more collaborators who went to cooperate with the enemy in the temporarily occupied part of Luhansk region.

As the SBU press center reported, three representatives of the “Party of Regions”, who until 2014 held the positions of the head of the Starobil District State Administration and his deputy, as well as the mayor of the district center, were found with the aggressor’s tools.

It is noted that at the beginning of the full-scale invasion, they supported the Russian invaders and offered them their help in the war against Ukraine.

“For this, they were appointed heads of the “administration of the Starobil region of the LPR” created by the occupiers. While in their “positions”, the collaborators carried out Moscow’s tasks regarding the spread of the Kremlin regime and the suppression of the resistance movement in the region. It was established that the perpetrators take an active part in the creation of new occupiers of the captured area. , it was they who organized the “opening” in Starobilsk of the “customs post” under the control of the Russian Federation and the local division of the “Internal Affairs of the People’s Republic of China”, the report says.

In addition, as reported by the SBU, on May 12 of last year, on the occasion of “Russia Day”, collaborators took part in the “ceremony” of raising the flags of the aggressor country and the terrorist organization “LPR” in the central square of the city.

The special service noted that on the basis of the collected evidence, the investigators notified the suspects of suspicion under Part 3 of Art. 28, Part 6 of Art. 111-1 (implementation of information activities in cooperation with the aggressor state and its occupation administration, aimed at supporting the aggressor state, its occupation administration or armed formations, committed by an organized group); according to part 5 of Art. 111-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (voluntary occupation by a citizen of Ukraine of a position related to the performance of organizational-administrative or administrative-economic functions in illegal authorities created in the temporarily occupied territory, including in occupation administrations).

Currently, the indictment materials have been sent to the court. The perpetrators are wanted. They face up to 15 years in prison with confiscation of property.

Collaborators in Ukraine

As reported, recently operatives of the Security Service of Ukraine detained traitors who “merged” conspiratorial bases of the Special Operations Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces during the occupation of Kherson. One of them turned out to be a local resident, who was recruited by the servicemen of the SZG of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to perform operational and combat tasks on the southern front.

SBU employees also reported the arrest of former Ukrzaliznytsia officials who helped move Russian military echelons to Ukraine. Four ex-employees of a transport company in the Kharkiv region turned out to be traitors. From the beginning of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine, they sided with the Russians and after the occupation of part of the region joined the ranks of the new “administration”.

Meanwhile, the General Staff of the Armed Forces reported that the Russian invaders were taking Russian officials to the occupied territories of Ukraine due to a lack of local collaborators.
