How to report information about a traitor

Who are traitors and what does this term mean?

Traitors of Ukraine are considered to be individuals who have committed actions that harm national security, assist the aggressor, or follow its orders. These can include collaborators, spies, propagandists, and those supporting separatist movements.

To classify traitors, Ukraine has created a special registry called “DержZрадники” (“StateTraitors”), maintained by the “ЧЕСНО” (“Honest”) movement. This registry includes individuals who facilitated the occupation of Crimea and certain areas of Donbas, collaborated with the occupation authorities, or propagated Russian narratives.

The legislative regulation of state treason issues in Ukraine is carried out by several normative acts. In particular, the following play an important role:

• The Criminal Code of Ukraine: it includes articles on state treason, espionage, and assistance to the aggressor.
• Laws on sanctions: a series of decrees by the President of Ukraine, such as Decree No. 265/2021, aimed at imposing personal sanctions against individuals suspected of state treason and collaboration with the occupiers (President.gov.ua).

For more detailed information and to familiarize yourself with the legislative acts, you can visit the official website of the President of Ukraine here and the website of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, where all laws and legal acts are published.

How and where to report information about traitors?

How to safely report information about traitors
Transmitting information on the internet requires caution, especially in the occupied territories. Here are some recommendations to ensure anonymity and security:

• Using VPN
  • A VPN (virtual private network) helps hide your location and encrypt your internet traffic. It is recommended to use reliable VPN services such as NordVPN, ExpressVPN, and CyberGhost.
• Deleting history and chats
  • After transmitting information, delete the chat history and messages. Clear your browser history and delete files that could compromise you. In messengers like Telegram or WhatsApp, use the “secret chats” feature, which allows you to set a timer for message deletion.
• Safe transmission of information in the occupied territories
  • Use secure communication channels: for transmitting data, choose encrypted messengers (Signal, Telegram, WhatsApp). If possible, avoid using everyday devices.
  • Avoid direct mentions: try not to mention specific names and places.
  • Deleting data after sending: immediately delete chats and related files.
  • Be careful with photos and videos: images may contain metadata about the location. Make sure this information is deleted.
