Russian occupation official in Zaporizhzhia charged with war crimes by Ukraine

Ukraine's SBU has charged a Russian occupation official, Sharlai, with war crimes after he was exposed in a Kyiv Independent documentary. Sharlai heads the religious organizations department in the occupation administration and served as Putin's trusted representative in Melitopol. This marks a formal legal escalation against occupation personnel, though the practical impact is limited as he remains outside Ukrainian control.
