The Security Service of Ukraine informed about the suspicion of a traitor who hung the russian flag over the Luhansk Regional State Administration in 2014, and now has been captured by the Armed Forces of Ukraine
He is Lee Won Chol, a Ukrainian citizen of Korean origin (also known under the pseudonym Herman Prokopov). In 2014, he took part in the capture of the Luhansk regional state administration, from which he tore down the Ukrainian flag and replaced it with the russian tricolor. The figure then fought as part of the occupying groups of the russian federation against the forces of the ATO, and after the start of the full-scale war, he attacked the combat positions of the Defense Forces of Ukraine on the eastern front. In October 2024, Ukrainian defenders completely defeated an assault company of the occupiers, which included a traitor, and captured him as the only survivor in the Spirne area of Donetsk region.
According to the investigation, after the capture of the Luhansk Regional State Administration, the perpetrator took part in mass riots, organized pro-russian rallies and fights, and intimidated local patriots. At the same time, since February 24, 2022, the terrorist together with the russian occupiers captured the cities of Rubizhne, Siverskodonetsk and Lysychansk in the Luhansk region, as well as the village of Spirne in the Donetsk region.
