One of the leaders of the security department at "Ukrenergo" justified the crimes of Russian occupiers. He also "leaked" information regarding the consequences of Russian strikes on Ukraine's energy facilities.

This was reported by RBK-Ukraine citing the press service of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), the press service of the Kyiv regional prosecutor's office, and "Ukrenergo" on Telegram.

According to the SBU, the security department of "Ukrenergo," where the man serves as one of the leaders, is responsible for the protection of important energy infrastructure in Ukraine.

"Moreover, as indicated by the investigation materials, during phone calls to his friends, the suspect 'leaked' information about the consequences of missile and drone strikes on Ukrainian energy facilities," the SBU clarified.

The suspect also praised the Kremlin regime and questioned the existence of Ukraine as a state. Furthermore, he expressed a desire for the mass killing of Ukrainians. The man was detained at his place of residence.

"The linguistic examination initiated by the Security Service confirmed the facts of the official's illegal activities in favor of the aggressor country," law enforcement officials reported.

The "Ukrenergo" official has already been informed of the suspicion under part 3 of Article 436-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (justification, recognition of legality, denial of armed aggression by the Russian Federation against Ukraine). He now faces up to eight years in prison with asset confiscation.

Additionally, according to the Kyiv regional prosecutor's office, during searches, correspondence praising the Kremlin regime and symbols from the Soviet era were found at the suspect's location. He has already been placed under arrest.

In turn, "Ukrenergo" noted that since October 14, the employee regarding whom the SBU has initiated criminal proceedings has been suspended from duties. The company has also created an internal commission to conduct a service investigation.

Recall that in early September, SBU detained a Ministry of Defense official who organized a scheme for the "sale" of legally entitled payments to severely wounded soldiers.
