Four figthers of the so-called “LPR” and “DPR” who fought as part of the invasion forces in the Kharkiv, Luhansk and Donetsk directions were sentenced to actual terms of imprisonment in Ukraine. They will spend 10-15 years behind bars.

The press service of the SSU reported about this.

All four were captured by the Ukrainian military during hostilities.

The pre-trial investigation was carried out by investigators of the Security Service of Ukraine in Donetsk and Luhansk regions, the Ivano-Frankivsk’s SSU Regional Office under the procedural guidance of the Luhansk and Ivano-Frankivsk Regions Prosecutor’s Offices.

Among the convicts is a “sniper-radio-telephone operator” who was captured by the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Momotovo, Kharkiv region.

He received 14 years of imprisonment.

It was established that the 23-year-old citizen of the Russian Federation was mobilized from Donetsk and fought against the Ukrainian army in a separate rifle and sniper platoon of the 3rd battalion of the 115th regiment of the so-called “DPR” of the Russian Armed Forces.

The SSU reported that in his unit he was responsible for field communications and ensured access at checkpoints in the area of Vesele, Kutuzivka and Momotove settlements. He took part in the fighting near the village of Bobrivka.

He was captured along with his platoon during the liberation of the village of Momotove. The court found him guilty under two articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine:

  • Part 1 of Art. 258-3 (participation in a terrorist group or terrorist organization);
  • Part 2 of Art. 260 (participation in paramilitary or armed formations not provided for by law).

Another fighter, a rifleman of the 208th regiment of the so-called “people’s militia of the LPR”, was captured by the Ukrainian military during the fighting in the area of the city of Rubizhne in the Luhansk region.

He comes from the city of Anthracite, in the Luhansk region, and has Ukrainian citizenship, so he was charged with treason for switching to the enemy’s side.

The man received 15 years of imprisonment under three articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine:

  • Part 2 of Art. 111 (treason committed under martial law);
  • Part 1 of Art. 258-3 (participation in a terrorist group or terrorist organization);
  • Part 2 of Art. 260 (participation in paramilitary or armed formations not provided for by law).

The judges sentenced other captured fighters to 10 years in prison.

One of them is a “senior sniper” of a grenade launcher platoon of the illegal military formation “LPR” and a former miner. He was captured during the battles for Sievierodonetsk.

Since 2006, the man has been convicted three times for drug trafficking. He was last released in 2021 and immediately joined an illegal armed group.

Another fighter is a resident of the village of Zymohiria, Luhansk region. He fought as part of the so-called “2nd Army Corps” of the Russian invasion forces in the Luhansk and Donetsk regions. In December 2021, he was mobilized and went to the front as a “sniper’. Took part in the storming of Ukrainian positions in the Kreminna area.

After the capture of Sievierodonetsk by the invasion forces, together with other fighters, he broke into and looted the apartments abandoned by the residents and participated in the “sweeps” of the city.

At the beginning of August, in a melee in the Soledar district, soldiers of the Defense Forces of Ukraine captured him along with six other fighters of the so-called “2nd Army Corps”, the rest of the unit was killed.

  • Part 2 of Art. 260 (participation in paramilitary or armed formations not provided for by law).
