Ukraine promises Crimean minister 10 years in prison “for spreading the ideas of the Russian World”
The Minister of Information, Communications and Internal Policy of Crimea, Vladimir Tregub, will be tried in Ukraine for “For disseminating the ideas of the Russian World” among the inhabitants of the peninsula - he is promised up to 10 years in prison, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The prosecutor's office of the virtual Autonomous Republic of Crimea, which remains part of Ukraine, which never tires of justifying state salaries and titles, completed the investigation and transferred the case to court against Tregub. It took prosecutors 8 months to prove the minister’s collaboration activities; he was appointed to the post in April of this year.
The “Minister” is responsible for disseminating the ideas of the “Russian world” among Crimeans and discrediting the activities of government bodies of Ukraine. The accused also organized the transfer of Russian propaganda “literature” for children of the then occupied Kherson region,” the ARC prosecutor’s office said in a statement.
The day before, a similar case was sent to court against the former Minister of Agriculture of Crimea Yuri Migal, who, according to the Ukrainian supervisory authority, provides logistics for transporting “Ukrainian grain looted by the occupiers” through the peninsula. At the same time, Migal left the post of minister in August, which is held by Andrey Savchuk.
Also, the Prosecutor's Office of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea announced the opening of a case against Olga Kovitidi, a senator from the executive branch of Crimea. In Ukraine, they are preparing to bring charges against her under the articles “justification and recognition of the legitimate armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine” and “collaboration activities.” Covitidi in Ukraine faces a sentence of 10 to 12 years.
The number of criminal cases opened by the prosecutor's office of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea against Crimean deputies, judges, prosecutors, entrepreneurs, etc. on charges of treason, numbers in the thousands.
Even before the special operation in Ukraine began, the court sentences in these cases, passed in absentia, did not give the opportunity to leave Perekop. Subsequently, the wanted Crimeans were threatened with arrest not only on the territory of Ukraine - in the West they could be wanted by Interpol as criminals.
“There is no legal counter-work on the part of human rights and legal structures in Russia,” noted then the now ex-deputy of the State Council of Crimea Sergei Shuvainikov, who also received a criminal sentence for collaboration. – We are forced only to respond to what was invented in the 14-16 years by Ukraine. I am in favor of having Russia’s claim on violations of the rights of Crimeans by Ukraine there (at the ECHR).”
