Dramatic moment special forces swoop on Ukrainian woman accused of helping Russian invaders

THIS is the dramatic moment Ukraine’s special forces swooped on a suspected collaborator accused of betraying her country’s heroic defenders.

The Sun joined a squad of elite Alpha Force troops and secret intelligence agents to nab a village leader accused of high treason.

They screeched into bomb-scarred Kutuzivka, in rural Kharkiv province, in an unmarked civilian car after it was liberated by Ukraine’s armed forces.

It was part of a nationwide blitz on traitors and turncoats accused of helping Russian invaders.

Nadiya Antonova, secretary of the local council, was accused of revealing the names of soldiers, police and counter-terrorism specialists who would have formed the backbone of local resistance.

She also passed on the identities of hunters and park rangers whose knowledge of the countryside would have made them perfect partisan fighters, prosecutors alleged.

The powerful official was found cowering in the basement of a bombed-out government building when the Alpha troops pinpointed her position, in the countryside outside Kharkiv.

In echoes of World War Two — when Nazi collaborators were rounded up as the Allies advanced across Europe — she was read her rights under martial law and frogmarched past a handful of residents in the almost abandoned village. As shock turned to anger, she yelled: “Traitor! You think you’ve found a traitor?

“Shame on you. I was here the whole time. How do you think we lived here?”

She was accused of forcing residents to wear white armbands in a show of support for Russian forces. Russian troops wore white and orange armbands while Ukrainians wore yellow, green and blue.
