People's Deputy Alexei Kovalev, who was announced yesterday about suspicion of treason and complicity with Russia, among other things, organized the export of salt and grain to Russia from the occupied territories of the Kherson region, Prosecutor General Irina Venediktova said..

“Konserva” opened with his FB post with enthusiasm for plans for the full-scale integration of Kherson region farmers into the economic model of Russia and insisting that “Russia is forever”. Actually, the invaders put him to work in the occupation body in the pseudo-position of “deputy head of the government of the Kherson region”, which he took,” she wrote on Facebook.

Venediktova noted that Kovalev is one of many government officials against whom a criminal case has been initiated for high treason in Ukraine, including deputies of various levels, former officials of executive authorities and local self-government, law enforcement officers and ordinary citizens.. At the same time, she called the collaborator and occupation “governor” of the Kherson region Volodymyr Saldo one of the most active apostates..

“While they serve the aggressor, their civilian neighbors and friends are being killed in the Kherson region. Since the moment of military aggression, law enforcement agencies of the region recorded the facts of abduction or disappearance of 457 people.

Among them, mayors of cities, village heads, village elders, 17 deputies of regional and local councils, 43 law enforcement officers and two clergy,"
