Russian courts target Ukrainian civilians as foreign enlistment rises
Russian courts sentence Ukrainian civilians for treason while Ukrainian forces capture the first Indonesian prisoner of war serving with Russia.
Russian authorities and occupation courts continue to impose severe sentences on Ukrainian civilians under espionage and treason charges. In occupied Donetsk, an 18-year-old resident of Mariupol received an eight-and-a-half-year prison sentence after being accused of passing military information to Ukrainian intelligence and possessing explosives. Concurrently, human rights reporting highlighted the urgent hospitalization of a 68-year-old Ukrainian woman, who was previously sentenced to 12.5 years in prison for transferring funds to the Ukrainian armed forces, following a rapid decline in her health at a penal colony in Vologda.
Separately, Ukrainian forces reportedly captured the first Indonesian prisoner of war serving in a Russian assault unit in Zaporizhzhia region. The capture highlights a broader trend, with Ukrainian state initiatives recording a sharp increase in foreign enlistment into Russian military forces.
