In Russia, a 61-year-old resident of the Donetsk region was convicted for serving in the Azov Regiment
The Southern District Military Court in Rostov-on-Don sentenced Andriy Gulak, a 61-year-old resident of the Donetsk region, to 5 years and 4 months in prison. The Russian side accused the man of allegedly participating in a terrorist group due to his service in the Azov Regiment.
According to the publication, Gulak was convicted in a case involving participation in a terrorist group.
The Russian court stated that the basis for the charges was his alleged service in “Azov,” which is illegally designated as a terrorist organization in Russia.
The Rostov court did not disclose any other details of the case or the specific circumstances on which the charges against him are based.
Andriy Gulak was born in the village of Primorske in the Donetsk region. Prior to his arrest, he lived in the village of Urzuf in the Mariupol district.
Russian courts regularly hand down sentences to Ukrainian military personnel and civilians on fabricated or politically motivated charges, particularly for ties to “Azov.”
This was reported by “Mediazona.”
Earlier, Georgy Pirogov, a resident of the Moscow region, was sentenced to 23 years in a strict-regime penal colony on charges of treason. The FSB of the Russian Federation claimed that the man allegedly gathered classified information for Polish intelligence services.
The court found two Ukrainian citizens guilty of treason and sentenced each to 15 years in prison with confiscation of property.
