Quote: "Today (2 June - ed.) Yevhen Balytskyi, the head of the Zaporizhzhia military-civil administration [of collaborators] signed a decree on the nationalisation of property belonging to Ukraine.

The decree was signed in order to meet the state’s needs as regards improving the overall efficiency and social orientation of the economy, as well as to preserve the national heritage for the residents of Zaporozhzhia Oblast."

Details: According to the traitor, the collaborators plan to "nationalise land, natural resources, facilities in strategic sectors of the economy, property owned by Ukraine as of February 24, 2022 into the ownership of Zaporizhzhia Oblast".

For reference: Yevhen Balytskyi is a former deputy from The Party of Regions. In 2020, he was elected a deputy of the regional council from the "Opposition Bloc" [a pro-Russian political party in Ukraine]. 

The traitor has been declared a suspect under Part 5 of Art. 111-1 of the Criminal Code. He faces from 5 to 10 years in prison with confiscation of property.
