Quote: "Nearly 400 police officers who stayed in the occupied territories and started working for the Russians in non-legitimate law enforcement agencies afterwards have been served with a notice of suspicion of treason in absentia."

Details: At the same time, Vyhivskyi stressed that despite it being a seemingly large number, in reality it is less than 0.4% in total.

Moreover, the possible collaborationism with the Russians of 400 police officers who stayed in the occupied territories is being investigated.

Background:

• In June 2022, Ihor Klymenko, then Head of the National Police of Ukraine, reported that all police officers who remained in the Russia-occupied territories were fired from the National Police and did not receive a salary.
