"A Ukrainian collaborator became the acting mayor of Berdyansk. In that capacity, he arrested and tortured pro-Ukrainian citizens. He was shot last week."
Another posting of "proven UA source" even without try to analyze.
Mayor of a city is absolutely civilian position in Russia. At best, a mayor can participate in civil defense activities. Arresting and interrogation of the prisoners are all in law enforcement agencies hands (FSB, MVD, and etc).
So, the only fault of assasinated guy was that he'd been pro-Russian.
Officaly yes, but we are speaking about war zone and we have a lot of examplne from russia where many people ended in jail because of supporting peace so justify in russia is not working . So in reality it was done by army or police but important is who give order( don't need to be oficialy).
The "acting mayor" was installed by an occupying force, not elected. That makes him a collaborator under international law — same category as Vichy France officials or Nazi-appointed administrators in WWII.
And as for “he couldn’t arrest or torture” — tell that to the countless Ukrainians who were abducted, beaten, and murdered in occupied territories by so-called “civilian officials” working hand-in-hand with the FSB and Rosgvardiya.
His only fault was being pro-Russian? No — his fault was serving an invading regime, helping it suppress and terrorize locals. When you play warlord under occupation, don’t act surprised if someone treats you like an enemy combatant.
There's thousands of testimonials of Russian torture of Ukrainian civilians, prisoners of war and their own soldiers. It's really quite amazing the lengths you go to in order to justify the Russian invasion to an audience that knows you're full of shit. Not once do you ever mention the thousands of Ukrainian men, women and children that have died or been injured, or all the homes destroyed to fulfill Putin's imperial ambitions. And you just cheer him on when you won't even benefit from his killings. What a twisted mind you have.
Don, people like Tupolev16 post these kinds of comments either because they are willfully blind to Russia’s war crimes or they are actively trying to distort the truth. His response reads like propaganda — a weak attempt to sanitize collaboration with an occupying force.
He pretends that torture and repression are only the actions of official security agencies, ignoring the well-documented reality: occupation-appointed civilians often aid, enable, or directly participate in these crimes. He shows no concern for truth — just defense of the regime he clearly supports.
Honestly, based on how methodically he dismisses facts and mirrors Kremlin talking points, there's a real possibility he’s part of a bot farm or influence operation. These people aren't here to debate — they’re here to manipulate.

Oh please, spare us the legal fairytale.

True. But he's real. And there are a lot more like him.
