Direct speech Ugrovetskyi: “From 2022 until now, more than 2,000 criminal proceedings have been initiated based on the facts of collaborative activity… Next to thousands of professionals who stood up for the defense of the state from the first days of the war, there were those who betrayed their oaths and went over to the side of the occupiers. Almost 500 criminal proceedings have been registered against former law enforcement officers of Donetsk region.”

Details: He added that special attention is paid by investigative bodies to the so-called judicial authorities in the occupied territories, in fact they are part of the repressive mechanism used against citizens of Ukraine.
The head of the prosecutor’s office gave an example: “Now the court is hearing proceedings against a former judge of the Court of Appeal of the Donetsk region, who worked for more than 20 years in various judicial institutions, went to work for the occupiers. She held the pseudo-positions of “chairman of the military tribunal of the DPR” and “judge of the supreme court”. For the first time in the history of the “DPR”, an ex-employee of Themis issued a death sentence to a citizen of Ukraine.
Ugrovetskyi also reminded that among those who supported the invasion of Russian troops on Ukrainian land, there was already the former mayor of Sviatohirsk, who from the first days of the partial occupation worked for the enemy and openly thanked the occupiers.
Direct speech Ugrovetskyi: “Despite the fact that he fled with the Russian army, we brought him to criminal responsibility and sentenced him in absentia to 15 years of imprisonment with confiscation of property. He will serve his sentence after his arrest.”
Details: More than 300 criminal proceedings have also been opened in Donetsk region based on the facts of the collaborative activities of educators.
Direct speech Ugrovetskyi: “Out of 309 criminal proceedings based on the facts of collaborative activities of educators, 236 are under consideration by the courts. 58 guilty verdicts have been passed.”
