The head of one of the departments of the Supreme Court of Ukraine justified the armed aggression of the Russian Federation and the temporary occupation of Ukraine.

An employee of the Supreme Court called for the occupation of Ukraine

The SBU collected recordings of conversations in which the suspect denied Ukraine's sovereignty and offered to hand over the southern regions, including the Odesa and Kherson regions, to the occupiers.

In communication with his subordinate, the official glorified the mercenaries of the Russian "Wagner Group" and supported their participation in the war against Ukraine.

He also suggested launching a new offensive against Ukraine from the north to capture Lviv and neighbouring regions.

The detainee expressed his hopes for the quick occupation of Ukraine with the subsequent establishment of the Kremlin regime on its territory.

A linguistic examination initiated by the SSU confirmed the facts of the official's subversive activities favouring the aggressor country.
