Traitor coach from Genichesk put on MIA wanted list

A collaborator coach from Genichesk is wanted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Volodymyr Kokul, who agreed to cooperate with the occupation authorities, was officially put on the wanted list of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine on October 4.

The relevant information is posted on the website of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The man, a native of the village of Kreschenivka in the Novovorontsov community of Beryslav district, lived in Genichesk. After the occupation, he cooperated with the enemy, taking up the position of a so-called 'mundep' (municipal deputy) from the Russian political party KPF in Chaplynka, Kakhovka district.

Back in August of this year, investigators of the Security Service of Ukraine in Kherson region announced that Kokul was suspected of collaboration. According to the investigation, the cooperation began in July 2023, when the collaborator agreed to run in the illegal elections to the occupation 'Council of Deputies of the Chaplynka Municipal District' from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation.

Before the invasion in 2015, Volodymyr Kokul was involved in Ukrainian politics: he ran for the Genichesk City Council and worked as a coach at the Genichesk District Children's and Youth Sports School.

Earlier, the court sentenced Volodymyr's alleged relative , 65-year-old Valentyna Kokul from Genichesk, who actively collaborated with the Russian occupiers. She was sentenced to 10 years in prison with confiscation of all property for cooperation.

It was established that the woman held two illegal positions in the occupied territory of Kherson region. She headed the 'kindergarten No. 17 Teremok' illegally established by the invaders and, at the same time, became a deputy of the occupation Kherson Regional Council from the aforementioned Russian Communist Party of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation.

As part of the sentence, the court ordered the confiscation of a significant amount of the collaborator's property. Kokul must lose three land plots with a total area of about 4.5 hectares, as well as her own apartment. In addition, her 1/2 share of ownership of another apartment and 1/2 share of a residential building are subject to confiscation.
