This was reported by the Main Intelligence Directorate (known as GUR) of the Ministry of Defense.
Hrytsay was shot dead on June 18. He was originally from Poltava region and lived in Berdyansk. He headed the branch of the “Socialist Ukraine” party.

According to intelligence, Hrytsai is involved in war crimes — he terrorized the population of the occupied city, betrayed pro-Ukrainian citizens to the Russians, and participated in organizing torture in the territory of Berdyansk.
He was informed in absentia of suspicion of treason.
