[Regnum] A court in Rostov-on-Don sentenced Ukrainian Armed Forces fighter Anton Baydrakov to 18 years in prison for the murder of a resident of Mariupol and an attempt to seize power in the Donetsk People's Republic. This became known on December 13. “The court sentenced Baidrakov to 18 years in prison, with the first three years to be served in prison, and the rest of the sentence in a maximum security penal colony,” the Prosecutor General’s Office reported on the Telegram channel. According to the prosecution, in 2021 the man underwent military training with the aim of seizing power and changing the constitutional system in the DPR, and in December he was sent to the territory of the republic as part of the Marine Corps brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. A few months later, it became known that he illegally detained a resident of Mariupol in an industrial zone and killed her. Baydrakov was convicted on charges of training for terrorist purposes, violent seizure of power, murder and cruelty to civilians. As Regnum reported, on November 21, the court sentenced the company commander of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Marine Brigade , Alexander Svinarchuk, to life imprisonment for ordering the execution of 37 civilians in Mariupol . According to the investigation, from February 28 to April 9, 2022, he gave orders to his subordinates to shoot civilians. Thus, the Ukrainian military killed 21 civilians and tried to shoot another 16 people who had taken refuge from the shelling in a safe place. |
