In the Luhansk People's Republic (LPR), two Ukrainian citizens were sentenced to 19 and 20 years in a general regime penal colony for correcting the fire of Ukrainian militants at temporary refugee accommodation centers. This was announced on March 7 by the Investigative Department (SU) of the Investigative Committee (IC) of the Russian Federation for the republic in the Telegram channel.

"The defendants <...> provided them with information about infrastructure and housing facilities where civilians and members of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation were located, as well as humanitarian aid," the ministry said in a statement.

It is specified that they repeatedly sent the coordinates of the objects to the Ukrainian militants for a monetary reward. At the same time, the defendants knew that there would be shelling in these places.

The agency noted that the court sentenced them to imprisonment for 19 and 20 years. They will serve it in a correctional colony of the general regime.

According to the investigation, in March 2022, the accused shot a citizen who was in the pharmacy building with a hand-held machine gun.
