SBU declared the suspicion to 26 collaborators who tortured locals in the Kherson region

The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) established identity of another 26 members of the so-called main department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation in the Kherson region in the temporarily occupied part of the region. Another 26 collaborators were suspected of torturing people.

This was reported by the Security Service of Ukraine.

The law enforcement officers established their identities. The six persons involved held management positions in the occupation department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia "Kakhovsky". Others were assigned to the Russian units of investigation, criminal investigation, personnel support and duty units.

Collaborators massively repressed local residents in order to break their resistance to aggression. Under the leadership of FSB, they tried to disperse pro-Ukrainian gatherings of Kakhovka residents.

SBU claims that during such "raids" collaborators kidnapped people and imprisoned them in Russian torture camps on the left bank of the Kherson region. The abductees were brutally tortured, hoping to persuade them to cooperate with the occupiers.

The perpetrators also broke into the homes of Ukrainian patriots and, under the guise of searches, stole citizensʼ private property, including money and cars. They were also involved in the protection of election committees during fake Russian elections in the occupied territories of Ukraine.
