A resident of the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) was sentenced to nine years in a penal colony for financing the Azov battalion (a terrorist organization banned in the Russian Federation). This was reported on September 10 in the Telegram channel of the Southern District Military Court of the region.

"It has been established that the defendant got acquainted in the messenger with a publication about the collection of funds for the purchase of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) by the banned terrorist organization Azov and decided to assist the terrorist organization by providing it with funds," the regional body said in a statement.
