SSU detains collaborators in Poltava and Dnipro regions

The Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) has revealed the activities of three pro-Russian agitators in the Poltava and Dnipropetrovsk regions. In the Poltava region, SSU investigations have led to the identification of two pro-Russian propagandists who are now facing the possibility of an eight-year prison sentence.

One of the individuals was employed by a local critical infrastructure company and was openly supporting Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The other individual was promoting the idea of erecting monuments to Kadyrov in Ukrainian cities.

In the Dnipropetrovsk region, a former local businessman was exposed for glorifying members of the Wagner Private Military Company (PMC) and justifying their involvement in the attacks on Ukrainian cities in the east of the country. He spread destructive slogans on social media and in his interactions with acquaintances.

In addition to these cases, several arrests have been made in other regions, including Donetsk, Kirovohrad, Chernihiv, and Rivne. These individuals were involved in discrediting Ukrainian defenders and supporting the crimes committed by Russian occupiers from Buryatia against the civilian population.

Investigations into all of these cases are ongoing to determine the full circumstances of the crimes and to hold the responsible individuals accountable.
