SSU and National Police detain collaborator who, after working for ruscists, tried to enlist in AFU

Security Service of Ukraine

15:00, 13 August 2025

In Rivne region, the Security Service and National Police, with the assistance of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, exposed a collaborator from the occupation 'ministry of internal affairs of russia in Zaporizhzhia oblast'.

The traitor arrived in the western region to visit relatives and resolve family matters. At the same time, he enlisted in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, hoping to avoid justice for working for the occupiers.

As the investigation established, the perpetrator was a resident of Mykhailivka district of Zaporizhzhia region, who, after the community was captured, began collaborating with the aggressor.

He then joined the local 'unit of the russian ministry of internal affairs', where he was appointed a patrolman. After being enlisted in the occupation institution, the collaborator received a weapon, a uniform, and a russian ID.

While in this position, he carried out the kremlin's tasks aimed at persecuting members of the resistance movement in the region.

He was also 'authorized' to check entrepreneurs. Those who refused to work under russian 'law' were threatened with imprisonment.

In July this year, the collaborator left for Ukraine-controlled territory as a displaced person and then turned to one of the local Territorial Recruitment Centers. There, he provided false information about himself.

The law enforcement documented his crimes and apprehended him in a hospital, where he hoped to lay low under the guise of treatment.

SSU investigators have notified him of suspicion under Article 111-1.7 of the CCU (collaboration).

The suspect is in custody and faces up to 15 years in prison with confiscation of property.

The operation was carried out by the SSU Office in Zaporizhzhia region in cooperation with the National Police under the procedural supervision of Zaporizhzhia Region Prosecutor's Office.
