Three militants of the “DPR” were sentenced to 15 years in prison

The court found three more “DPR” militants guilty of treason and sentenced them to 15 years in prison with confiscation of property.

This was reported by the Security Service of Ukraine.

According to the investigation, on February 24, 2022, these people, who did not have military professions, voluntarily joined the ranks of Russian militants, where they received military uniforms, weapons and ammunition for them.
