October 7, Pozirk.<\/em><\/strong> A court in the so-called Donetsk republic has sentenced Jan Dziurbiejka, a Belarusian volunteer who fought for Ukraine, to 14 years in prison without the defendant being present, according to prosecutors of the separatist entity in eastern Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The court found the 28-year-old member of the Kastu\u015b Kalino\u016dski Regiment (KKR) guilty of mercenarism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier, the Russian Prosecutor General’s Office announced that Dziurbiejka was put on the international wanted list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fighters Dziurbiejka (call sign “Trombli”) and Siarhiej Dziohcie\u016d (call sign “Kle\u0161\u010d”) were captured during the Battle of Lysychansk in June 2022. Since then, their whereabouts and condition are unknown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In July 2023, Valer Sacha\u0161\u010dyk, then-defense chief at the Belarusian opposition United Transitional Cabinet, told journalists that Dziurbiejka and Dziohcie\u016d might be alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In July 2024, Moscow’s Basmanny court sentenced Dziurbiejka and another KKR fighter, Alaksandar Dumbla\u016dskas, to jail without the defendants being present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
