Quote: "On 16 May, from his apartment in the temporarily occupied Kherson, the military of the occupying forces of the Russian Federation abducted a ‘Suspilne’ Kherson engineer Oleksii Vorontsov … Where the ‘Suspilne’  employee is now - is unknown."

Details: The "Suspilne" broadcaster appeals to the Ukrainian authorities and the international community to fully and in all possible ways promote Vorontsov's return.

The company sent reports of a criminal offence to the Joint Centre for Coordination of Search and Release of Illegally Deprived Persons as a Result of Armed Aggression of the Russian Federation and to the Kherson District Prosecutor's Office of the Kherson Region.

From 2 March 2022, a "Suspilne" Kherson team has been working remotely.

"Suspilne" premises in Kherson is currently controlled by the occupying forces of the Russian Federation. The occupiers have repeatedly tried to search for personnel files of branch employees in order to recruit, interrogate and obtain information, the report said.
