The SBU exposed three more collaborators who worked for the Russian Federation in various regions of Ukraine
The Security Service detained three more collaborators who helped the enemy in the war against Ukraine. Two of them collaborated with the Russians in the temporarily occupied part of the territory in southern Ukraine; the third was located in the west of our country and financed the Russian Federation’s armed aggression.
🔹 Thus, in the Lviv region a resident of the city of Staryi Sambir will be tried; since 2006 she has headed a company that operates in the fields of ecology and hydrometeorology and produces landfill reclamation documentation on the territory of the Russian Federation.
It was established that after the start of the full-scale war the woman not only failed to “wind down” business with the aggressor country, but even increased its profitability.
It was documented that during the years 2023–2026 the said enterprise fulfilled orders for the Russian Federation and paid more than 2,2 million in taxes to the Russian budget in hryvnia equivalent.
🔹 In Zaporizhzhia region SBU officers exposed a collaborator from the temporarily occupied Energodar. During the years 2023–2024 the woman was part of the local “election commission” of the Russian Federation during the conduct of the pseudo-referendum and the aggressor country’s “elections.”
To ensure the required number of “votes,” the suspect went door to door through local residents’ homes with ballots accompanied by Russian military personnel.
SBU officers detained the offender while she was transiting through Ukraine to one of the European Union countries where her son lives.
🔹 In Kherson a collaborator was exposed who, during the period of temporary occupation of the port city in 2022, headed the regional library seized by the Russians.
According to the case materials, in this “position” he took part in propagandistic events organized by the Russian occupation administration in support of the Kremlin regime.
In addition, the offender gave an interview to the Moscow-controlled TV channel “Tavriya,” in which he spread fakes about the Defense Forces and called on the Russian Federation to completely seize Ukraine.
After Kherson was liberated the offender remained in the city and attempted to “lie low,” awaiting the arrival of armed groups from the aggressor country.
Investigators of the Security Service informed the suspects of suspicion in accordance with the crimes committed under several articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine:
▪️ parts 4, 6 art. 111–1 (collaboration activity);
▪️ part 2 art. 28, part 5 art. 111–1 (collaboration activity committed by prior conspiracy of a group of persons);
▪️ part 3 art. 436–2 (justification, recognition as lawful, denial of the Russian Federation’s armed aggression against Ukraine, glorification of its participants).
The offenders face up to 12 years of imprisonment with confiscation of property.
Comprehensive measures were carried out by SBU officers in Kherson, Zaporizhzhia and Lviv regions under the procedural guidance of the regional prosecutor’s offices.
