For the first time in Russia, a court has passed a verdict confirming the presence of Russian troops in the temporarily occupied areas of Donetsk and Luhansk regions. The case itself concerns bribery, but the decision officially refers to the “DPR” and “LPR”.
About this on his channel in Telegram wrote by Ukrainian journalist Andrey Tsaplienko. The decision was taken by Judge Leonard Sholokhov at the Kirovsky District Court of the city of Rostov-on-Don. The ruling is also published on website court decisions of the Russian Federation.
It noted that the defendant was supplying food to the Russian military on the territory of the illegal formations “DPR” and “LPR” that were “on duty” there. In 2019, he almost disrupted the supply of food and tried to pay off with bribes.
“The food was intended to be sent to the military units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, deployed on the territory of the “DPR” and “LPR”… He had to organize the order, payment and loading of the cars with the necessary food, “the decree says.

“The transfer of funds was his personal initiative in connection with the demand for a bribe from FULL NAME2 and the latter’s statements of threats to disrupt the supply of products in favor of FULL NAME2 RF and servicemen of the Russian Federation on combat duty in the “DPR” and “LPR”, – noted the judge.

Tsaplienko suggested that the document would probably be removed from public access soon, and the judge who made the decision and published it on the website would be kicked out of his job.
“It may be encouraging that in the army, where they steal food from their soldiers on an industrial scale and put it on secrecy with the device, there is no chance of winning the war against Ukraine,” the journalist noted.
