Kyiv • UNN
The SBU reports that three collaborators in Kharkiv and Luhansk, including a "telephone operator" and a pension fund manager, have been sentenced to prison for assisting Russian occupation forces.
Three collaborators who collaborated with Russians in the occupied parts of Kharkiv and Luhansk regions have received real prison terms. This was reported by the Security Service of Ukraine, UNN reports.
Details
SBU officers detained them as a result of comprehensive measures in eastern Ukraine. Among the defendants are a "telephone operator" who communicated with the offices of the former occupation administration of the Russian Federation in Balakliya and the head of the "lPR pension fund" unit
It is noted that based on SBU materials, the court sentenced them to 5 to 11 years in prison.
Addendum
The SBU said that a former official of one of the region's municipal institutions received a prison term, who in April 2022 agreed to head one of the units of the "lPR pension fund in Novopskov district".
While working for the occupiers, he met with local entrepreneurs and urged them to fill the occupation budget by paying "pension fees" to the Russian treasury.
SBU officers detained the collaborator when he secretly arrived in Kyiv as an internally displaced person and tried to "legalize" himself under the guise of a volunteer
In Kharkiv region , the collaborator was a 52-year-old resident of Balakliya who supported the invaders immediately after the start of the full-scale Russian invasion.
Investigators found out that during the occupation of the city he conducted telephone communications to the premises of the local occupation authorities of the aggressor country. He also organized the broadcast of Russian propaganda radio channels in the city through a network of loudspeakers on infrastructure buildings.
It is noted that after the liberation of Balakliya, the man tried to escape from justice, but failed.
Another collaborator is a resident of Kupiansk district who voluntarily headed the occupation "center for social services" during the seizure of the community.
In this "position" she organized the distribution of so-called "humanitarian aid" from the aggressor country to supporters of racism. The "gumpacket" necessarily included the Russian propaganda newspaper "Kharkiv Z", which denied the armed aggression of the Russian Federation and justified the crimes of the invaders
As a reminder,
the SBU detained a Kyiv resident who helped the FSB launch a missile attack on a Kyiv university and reconnoitered military facilities; now he faces life in prison for high treason.
