HUR: Ukrainian judge who collaborated with Russian occupiers found dead in Berdiansk

On 2 October, in the temporarily occupied city of Berdiansk in Zaporizhzhia Oblast, a car belonging to traitor judge Vitalii Lomeiko exploded, the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense reported on social media.

Lomeiko was a judge of the Chernihiv District Court in Zaporizhzhia Oblast. He remained in occupied Berdiansk, violated his oath during the war, and knowingly and voluntarily collaborated with Russian occupiers.

“A traitor judge, Vitalii Lomeiko, was found dead in Berdiansk,” Ukraine’s intelligence agency’s report stated.

According to the Main Intelligence Directorate, “On 2 October 2024, a car exploded near building six on Krasnykh Partizan Street in the Lisky neighborhood, near the port in temporarily occupied Berdiansk. The traitor Vitalii Lomeiko was inside the vehicle.”

Earlier, agents of the “ATESH” movement said they blew up a railway line used by the Russians to supply equipment and ammunition to the front in Kursk Oblast, the partisans reported on social media.
