The case of a resident of the Kakhovka district who agreed to head the so-called "VGA of the Hornostayevsky district" and cooperated with the occupiers, in particular by passing on information about the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, was also brought to court.

In addition, three residents of the region were notified of suspicion in connection with the fact that they took up the positions of "heads" of the fake administrations of the Hornostayiv, Verkhnorohachytskyi and Kakhovskyi "municipal districts" and ensured the activities of the occupation authorities.
