A Russian military court has sentenced 61-year-old Ukrainian citizen Andrii Hulak to five years and four months in prison.

The sentence was based on an alleged connection between Hulak and Ukraine's Azov group. The court's ruling did not cite any specific criminal act or conduct attributed to Hulak — the sentence appears to rest solely on the claimed link to the unit.

The report of the sentencing was published by Euromaidan Press. The source report does not provide further details about the circumstances of the case, including where and when Hulak was detained or how the trial proceeded.

As highlighted in the report itself, the ruling notably lacks any specific fact or episode substantiating the charge against him.
