The People's Republics of the Donbass have handed down harsh prison sentences to five Ukrainian soldiers, according to a report from Russia's Investigative Committee on Monday.

The statement from the Investigative Committee indicated that Andrey Klementovich, Artur Sivitsky, and Ivan Melnikovich were each sentenced to 20 years of imprisonment. The committee presented visuals of the three individuals handcuffed within a courtroom's defendant cage.

According to the Investigative Committee, these soldiers were found guilty of charges including "cruel treatment of the civilian population" and "attempted murder."

The court's assertion was that these three soldiers were active in the conflict in Mariupol, a city that Russia took control of in May 2022. They were also accused of impeding civilians from utilizing a humanitarian corridor to leave the city.
