The SBI initiated the dismissal of the deputy head of the Kharkiv Regional Council (VIDEO)

Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the russian federation's military formations, the State Bureau of Investigation systematically processes information on identifying people, including law enforcement officers and officials of the state authorities, who may be collaborators of the aggressor country.

Thus, the deputy head of the Kharkiv regional council came into view of the Bureau employees.

According to the operative information, he had a russian passport received in 2014 in Sevastopol, a driver's license, and a tax number, which is required, among other things, to pay taxes in russia.

The SBI approached the Kharkiv Regional Council with the request to suspend the official from his position, because an official of this rank has access to information related to the defense of the Kharkiv region and other information, including confidential information.

Currently, the Kharkiv regional council plans to consider the suspension of the official from his position shortly.
