“Law enforcement officers recorded that the man regularly posted anti-Ukrainian materials on his personal pages with calls for changing the state border and the constitutional system of Ukraine and popularized the terrorist organizations “DPR/LPR.” Special service operatives documented that the agitator received information from the curator of territories temporarily occupied by militants and distributed them for “fees,” the report says.
During a search at the detainee’s place of work and residence, security officers seized computer and mobile equipment containing evidence of his “illegal” activities.
Criminal proceedings have been opened under Part 2 of Article 110 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. The issue of informing the detainee of suspicion of committing a crime is being resolved. The pre-trial investigation continues.
