Case Description

23 August 2024, in the Kursk region, during combat operations, a 31-year-old Ukrainian citizen, a soldier of the 252nd Territorial Defense Battalion of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Pyotr Yeremeia, was taken prisoner by Russian military personnel. A criminal case was opened against him for committing a terrorist act by a group of persons by prior conspiracy, resulting in significant damage. According to the Russian investigation, in August 2024, Yeremey illegally invaded Russian territory as part of Ukrainian units. While in the city of Sudzha, he "mined the roads and prevented the evacuation of local residents, with the use of weapons occupied private houses and intimidated the civilian population in order to destabilize the work of the authorities." On April 11, 2025, the 2nd Western Military District Court found Pyotr Yeremey guilty and sentenced him to 15 years in prison, with the first 3 years to be served in prison, and the rest of the term - in a strict regime correctional colony. The verdict was not appealed and entered into legal force.
