Details: According to the investigation, in the spring, employees of the National Police of the Oblast, despite their oath, betrayed the state and went over to the side of the Russian Federation.

During the temporary occupation of settlements in Luhansk Oblast, nine police officers were "interviewed" by representatives of the pseudo-Republic, which is part of the Russian Federation’s occupation administration.

During their "employment," the suspects gave their voluntary consent to join the ranks of newly created illegal structures – the so-called Starobelsky, Melovsky, Belovodsky ROVD of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the "LPR" and the Prosecutor's Office of the Troitsky District of the "LPR."
