The MP's assistant helped the occupiers: details

The press service of the SBU reported this.

Employees of the Security Service of Ukraine detained a deputy of the Cherkasy city council, who headed the Opposition Platform - For Life faction before the ban of this party, and at the same time worked as an assistant to the current people's deputy. The man not only justified the Russian aggression against our state, but also planned to head the occupation administration in the Cherkasy region, if the enemy managed to capture the region, the department said.

He carried out information and subversive activities in favor of the Russian invaders. So, he called the war a "civil conflict" and spread fakes about the Ukrainian military.

Also, the defendants considered it inappropriate to resist the aggressor, waited for the occupation of the city and condemned the activities of the military-political leadership of Ukraine. However, when the attacker realized that the Armed Forces of Ukraine were successfully counteracting the Russian army and liberating the occupied territories, he tried to escape abroad, the department added.

The collaborator planned to escape to the States but was detained by the SBU.
