SBU eliminates traitor in Russian city — NV sources

23 November 2023, 11:40 PM

Ukraine’s SBU security service has killed former Ukrainian police officer Oleksandr Slisarenko in Belgorod after he allied with Russia and was “appointed” deputy head of Kharkiv's occupation “administration,” law enforcement sources told NV on Nov. 23.

NV sources say Slisarenko's vehicle was destroyed by a car bomb in Belgorod, Russia, on Nov. 16, and he died from his injuries in a hospital. Russian authorities have remained silent on the apparent assassination.

In 2014, Slisarenko was a prominent figure in opposition to the Euromaidan uprising. During 2021−2022, he fought with the so-called "Lynx" special unit of the "LPR" terrorist group. In the summer of 2022, Slisarenko received an unlawful appointment as deputy of foreign policy in Kharkiv's occupation government and was involved in atrocities on occupied Ukrainian lands.

The SBU had indicted Slisarenko on charges of treason. However, he failed to appear in court.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in a statement on the evening of Nov. 23, said he received a briefing from SBU head Vasyl Malyuk on "recent successes against enemy efforts and collaborators."
