According to Dekhtiarenko: "Bucha, Irpin and all towns and cities in Ukraine have been subjected to the atrocities of the invading forces. The SSU has already started to identify the 'Rashists' (Russian fascists - ed.) and their collaborators among Ukrainians. All of them will be punished!

In just a few days, the SSU has managed to determine lists of names of Russian military personnel who will be prosecuted for crimes against the peace and security of humanity."

Details: According to Dekhtiarenko, the SSU has questioned almost 2,000 people who witnessed atrocities committed by Russian military personnel. This has already made it possible to "identify" 33 people who collaborated with the Russian forces.

It is also reported that the SSU has detained 15 looters from the local population thanks to the data obtained. They have been handed over to the National Police.

Furthermore, the SSU found over 100 explosive devices, over fifty artillery shells, live grenades, ammunition, detonators, and so on. These were handed over to units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Dekhtiarenko summed up that the information collected would be attached to the materials of the criminal proceedings.
