The Security Service detained in Kyiv a former deputy head of the occupation administration of Alchevsk in the temporarily occupied part of the Luhansk region.

Details
As the investigation established, the perpetrator in 2014 was a member of the banned Party of Regions and headed the city department of education in Alchevsk.
After the capture of the community, she collaborated with the Rashists, who later appointed her "deputy mayor" of the temporarily occupied city.
In this "position," the suspect carried out Kremlin orders regarding the forced acquisition of Russian passports by local residents and the imposition of Russian citizenship on them.
She also forced teachers of captured schools to cooperate with the occupation administration of the Russian Federation and to transfer the educational process to the "standards" of the aggressor country.
On the eve of the full-scale war, the offender left Alchevsk due to a personal conflict with the new "mayor" of the occupied community.
Later, she arrived in Kyiv and settled near her children. Subsequently, the suspect concealed the facts of her collaboration with the occupiers in order to get a job at the territorial social service center.
During searches at the suspect's workplaces and residence, computer equipment and smartphones with evidence of collaboration with the enemy were found.
Investigators of the Security Service of Ukraine notified her of suspicion under Part 1 of Article 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (high treason).
The suspect faces up to 15 years in prison with confiscation of property.
