Law enforcement officers have begun criminal proceedings on the fact that the head of the Mikhailovska merged territorial community (hromada) in Zaporizhia region surrendered territory to Russian invaders, Prosecutor General Iryna Venediktova has said.

"Enemy troops gathered in the police department, and this individual calmed the crowd and urged residents not to interfere with the occupiers. We qualify that as treason in the form of providing military personnel of the armed forces of the Russian Federation with assistance in carrying out subversive activities against Ukraine. The State Security Service and the prosecutor's office of Zaporozhia region have reacted. Suspicion notes have been drafted," she said.
