The trial of 18 soldiers of the "Aidar" battalion has begun in Russia.
This is reported by the Russian propaganda media.
The hearing of the case on the merits began in the Southern District Military Court. Ukrainians are accused of participating in a terrorist organization, violent seizure of power, and changing the constitutional order of the "DPR". The court reclassifies all this as an article of Russian legislation.
- In 2015, the Ukrainian volunteer battalion "Aidar" was disbanded, and the 24th separate assault battalion was created on its basis.
- On June 20, 2023, a military court in Rostov-on-Don sentenced former Ukrainian soldier Denys Muryha to 16 years in prison.
