The SBU reported the suspicion to the under-sanctioned “head of the government” of the so-called “DPR” — citizen of russian federation Vitaly Khotsenko. He is involved in the export of Ukrainian grain and other cargo from Mariupol to russia.
Citizen of russian federation Vitaly Khotsenko is part of the inner circle of the terrorist Pushylin, who contributed to his appointment to a “leading position” in June 2022, the SBU reports.
In the ranks of the occupation body, the person involved fulfills Moscow’s tasks regarding the material and technical support of militants who participate in armed aggression against Ukraine.
“He is also responsible for the export of Ukrainian grain, coal and granite from the Mariupol port to the aggressor country,” the press service said.
On the basis of the collected evidence, the SBU investigators informed the accused about the suspicion. He is currently hiding from justice in the temporarily occupied part of eastern Ukraine.
As previously reported by USM, , in January 2023 SBU announced the “acting director” of the Mariupol port, Hryhoriy Sobolevskyi, a suspicion on organizing a criminal mechanism for the export of Ukrainian agricultural and metallurgical products by sea.
