The prosecution authorities continue their systematic work to expose and hold accountable individuals who have committed crimes against the foundations of national security of Ukraine and collaborated with the enemy.

Prosecutors from the Office of the Prosecutor General and the Mykolaiv Regional Prosecutor's Office have proven the guilt of two individuals in committing collaboration activities.

Kharkiv Region

The Supreme Court upheld the sentence of a resident of the region who voluntarily held the position of director of the newly established enterprise "KP 'Post of Izium'" from June to September 2022, appointed by the occupying administration.

The convicted individual dealt with personnel issues, signed financial documents, and facilitated the distribution of propaganda newspapers among the population to promote and support the decisions and actions of the Russian Federation. In this way, she carried out economic activities in cooperation with the occupying administration of the aggressor state.

The Cassation Criminal Court as part of the Supreme Court agreed with the arguments of the Office of the Prosecutor General regarding the validity of the qualification of the convicted person's actions under parts 4 and 6 of Article 111-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

She was sentenced to 11 years of imprisonment with confiscation of property and deprivation of the right to hold positions in state authorities, state administration, local self-government, as well as to engage in activities related to the provision of public services for a period of 15 years.

Currently, the woman is serving the sentence imposed by the court. She did not admit her guilt.

Mykolaiv Region

A former inspector of personnel support of the Police Department No. 2 of the Bashtanka District Police Department of the Main Directorate of the National Police in Mykolaiv Region has been sentenced to 5 years of imprisonment with confiscation of property and a 15-year ban on holding positions in law enforcement agencies, state authorities, and local self-government for voluntarily agreeing to cooperate with the enemy during the occupation of the city of Snihurivka in March 2022.

He handed over a service firearm - a "PM" pistol with two magazines and ammunition issued to him for the defense of the city of Snihurivka and the surrounding area to the Russian military. He also urged other law enforcement officers to surrender their weapons and cooperate with the occupiers.

With the support of the public prosecution by the Mykolaiv Regional Prosecutor's Office, the former law enforcement officer was found guilty under part 4 of Article 111-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

Due to the accused hiding from justice in the territory of the aggressor state, the case was considered under the special court proceedings procedure "in absentia".

In total, 1,465 criminal offenses related to collaboration activities (Article 111-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine) were registered in Ukraine during 2025, of which 374 were sent to court.
