The collaborator carried out the orders of the occupiers and facilitated their activities in Kherson.

The investigation is being conducted by the Territorial Department of the State Bureau of Investigation in Melitopol under the supervision of the Kherson Regional Prosecutor's Office.

Recently, law enforcement officers served suspicion notices to two residents of Kherson who worked for the enemy in the "police department" during the occupation of the city. They are a 37-year-old woman and a 48-year-old man suspected of voluntarily taking up positions in the illegally created "Suvorov City Police" that operated under the control of the invaders.

The court also sentenced a former police major from Kherson region who voluntarily defected to the occupiers. He was found guilty of committing serious criminal offenses, including treason and collaboration. The accused is a native of Illinka village, Kakhovka district, Kherson region, a resident of Fedorivka village, Darya community.
