In his position, the latter supervised detained persons, ensured the regime in the colony, that is, contributed to the establishment and functioning of the system of execution of punishments of the aggressor country in the Kherson region, the report states.

At the court hearing, the defense attorney asked for a preventive measure not related to detention to be applied to his client. The suspect supported the position of his defender.

After examining the materials of the petition, investigating judge Volodymyr Lyashchenko concluded that the suspicion is well-founded, which is confirmed by the evidence in the materials and the existence of risks that cannot be prevented by applying a preventive measure not related to detention.
