"During the investigation it was confirmed that the local resident was involved in the transfer of personal funds for the purchase of weapons, ammunition and military equipment by the Armed Forces of Ukraine for the purpose of their use against the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The sentence of the Amur Regional Court of the Amur resident was found guilty of committing the above crime and he was sentenced to 12 years of imprisonment in a strict regime penal colony," the department said.
