A ‘collaborator’ helping organise the Russian Presidential election in the occupied Zaporizhzhia region has been “liquidated”, Ukraine’s security forces have said, after she died in an apparent car bomb explosion.
Earlier Moscow aligned Vladimir Rogov had confirmed the death of one person in an explosion.
Subsequently, the Russian Investigative Committee said a member of the precinct election commission had been killed by an improvised explosive device (IED) placed under her vehicle in the port city of Berdyansk.
A statement issued by the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine said Svitlana Samoilenko, whom it described as “the organiser of Vladimir Putin’s pseudo-elections in the occupied territories”, had been “liquidated in the temporarily occupied Berdyansk”.
The statement added: “After the enslavement of the city in 2022, the woman voluntarily went to cooperate with Muscovites and received a place in the Russian occupation administration.
