Quote: "On 7 June 2024, an assassination attempt was made in the Russian city of Stary Oskol against Hennadii Matsehora, a traitor to Ukraine who served as mayor of Kupiansk (Kharkiv Oblast) from the Opposition Platform for Life (OPFL) [pro-Russian] party... The traitor to the Ukrainian people is in critical condition."

Details: DIU noted that Matsehora voluntarily undertook full cooperation with the Russians. In particular, he signed and publicly announced the so-called protocol on establishing the Kharkiv occupation administration in June 2022.

After Ukrainian forces liberated Kupiansk, he fled to Belgorod Oblast with the Russians, "where his Russian masters assigned heavy security to Matsehora, which, however, could not protect the collaborator mayor".
