Two occupation administrations chiefs from “LPR” to be tried for aiding enemy - SBU

The Security Service forwarded to court criminal cases against “gauleiters” from Kremenna and Novodruzhesk in the occupied part of Luhansk region, who were appointed to positions in occupation administrations.

That’s according to the SBU Office for Donetsk and Luhansk regions, Ukrinform reports.

"One of the suspects is a former militant from the cossack terrorist group Vsevelikoe Voysko Donskoe’, who is currently the ‘head of the administration of the Kremenna district of the LPR’. Another perpetrator is the former mayor of the town of Novodruzhesk (representative of the now-banned ‘Opposition Bloc’), who agreed to cooperate with the invaders in order to retain the position of the head of town," the statement reads.
