The Security Service of Ukraine and the Office of Donbass residents who fought on the side of Russia and tortured civilians during the occupation of the Kherson region.
According to the SBU website, at the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the traitors joined the ranks of the Russian army – the 109th Rifle Regiment of the 1st Army Corps of the Southern Military District of Russia. They took part in the capture of settlements in the Berislav district of the Kherson region.
Traitors were involved in repressions against locals.
“It is documented how in September 2022, the defendants stopped a resident of the village of Kalinovskoye and began to beat him with machine guns until the man lost consciousness. In this state, the attackers left him in the middle of the road to bleed. The next day, the Russians broke into the victim’s apartment to rob him, and he was “escorted” to a dungeon, which they set up in the basement of a private house,” the SBU reported.
The man was held there for almost a month, during which they tried to persuade him to cooperate with the Russian Federation. The victim was beaten and imitated by shooting with a firearm.
The SBU informed the perpetrators in absentia of suspicion of high treason, participation in armed formations unforeseen by law, as well as violation of the laws and customs of war committed by prior conspiracy by a group of persons.< /p>
