[Regnum] The FSB added the “Russian Volunteer Corps” (an organization whose activities are prohibited in the Russian Federation) to the list of terrorist organizations. This was reported by Rossiyskaya Gazeta, which on December 30 published updates included in the Unified Federal List of Organizations recognized as terrorist in accordance with Russian legislation. RDK was formed in Ukraine in 2022 with the support of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. This structure is a combat unit of the Ukrainian army. On November 16, 2023, the Second Western District Military Court recognized the RDK as a terrorist organization; on December 2, this decision came into force. The Russian FSB recognized the founder of the RDK Denis Kapustin (listed as terrorists and extremists) as the organizer of the attack on the Bryansk region in March 2023. In November, the Second Western District Military Court sentenced Kapustin in absentia to life imprisonment. The court found him guilty of treason and terrorist activities. |
