They were found guilty under several articles of the Ukrainian Criminal Code and given 10 to 12 years in prison for war crimes.
Militants captured by the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Bakhmut and Vuhledar in the Donetsk region received prison terms. They were given 10 to 12 years in prison for war crimes, the SBU press service reported on Saturday, March 18.
The convicts fought against Ukraine as part of the units of the Southern Military District of the RF Armed Forces. The defenders of Ukraine took them as prisoners during the battle in the direction of Bakhmut and Ugledar.
One of them was the commander of a motorized rifle platoon of the 2nd Army Corps of the Russian Federation. He has been fighting in Ukraine since 2014. After the start of a full-scale war, he ordered the shelling of Ukrainian cities in the East from Pion artillery mounts.
Another Russian militant, after February 24, 2022, participated in attacks on settlements of Donetsk and Lugansk regions.
The invader, who, as part of the 5th separate motorized rifle brigade Oplot, also received a prison term, tried to capture the village of Velyka Novoselka in the Donetsk region.
Since 2014, the fourth militant has been part of the “intelligence department of the republican guard” of the so-called “DPR” created by the Russian Federation. At first, he guarded Russian prisons, where the occupiers illegally detained members of the resistance movement. After the full invasion of the Russian Federation, the militant participated in attacks on Ukrainian cities on the Eastern Front.
The court found four militants guilty under several articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine:
betrayal; interference with the territorial integrity and inviolability of Ukraine; participation in a terrorist group or terrorist organization; participation in paramilitary or armed formations not provided for by law.
One of the convicts received 10 years in prison, and three others – 12 years.
Recall that earlier the SBU detained a spy in the Kirovograd region, who “leaked” the locations of defense industry enterprises in the Russian Federation.
