A Luhansk People's Republic (LPR) militant fought against the Ukrainian Defense Forces in Donbas and laid mines in their positions. According to the Office of the Prosecutor General, he was captured and sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Case details
In November 2019, a resident of Vrubivskyi village in the Luhansk region joined the "2nd Army Corps of the People's Militia of LPR." He became a "contact person" and received military equipment and firearms.
"During his 'service,' he guarded a military unit, serviced combat vehicles, and carried out orders to strengthen the defense capabilities of the so-called LPR, explained the prosecution.

Since the beginning of the Russian invasion, the convicted individual, as part of the occupation forces of the aggressor state, was involved in mining Ukrainian positions in the Luhansk and Donetsk regions.
However, in late May 2023, he was detained near Siversk in the Bakhmut district.
Punishment for the LPR militant
The individual was found guilty of:
- encroachment on the territorial integrity and inviolability of Ukraine;

The court sentenced him to 10 years of imprisonment.
Verdicts for traitors and collaborators in Ukraine

Also, a collaborator from Kupiansk, the Kharkiv region, attempted to transport 700 tons of grain to Russia during the city's occupation. He was detained and sentenced to 13 years in prison.
