Based on evidence collected by the Security Service, six traitors who fought against the Defense Forces in Donetsk and Luhansk regions have been convicted to 15 years in prison with confiscation of property.
The perpetrators are local residents who joined the occupation groups of russia's Southern military district.
Four of them, as part of the aggressor's 4th and 7th motorized rifle brigades, captured Sievierodonetsk, Kreminna and Popasna, and also fought near Bakhmut.
Among these four is a militant who received a prison sentence after being captured for the second time. The first time was in September 2022, and the second time was after an exchange, when he was sent back to the front line in the east in 2024.
Two other traitors were in the ranks of the 110th motorized rifle brigade and russia's 111th rifle regiment, which attempted to break through the Ukrainian defenses on Pokrovsk direction.
Based on the evidence, the court found the accused individuals guilty of crimes under two Articles of the CCU:
- 111.1, 111.2 (high treason);
- 111-1.7 (collaboration).
The investigation was carried out by the SSU Office in Donetsk and Luhansk regions under the procedural supervision of regional Prosecutor's Offices.
