Advocates to seek transfer of Oleg Sentsov and Alexander Kolchenko to Ukraine

The chances for transfer of Oleg Sentsov and Alexander Kolchenko to Ukraine for serving their sentences there are estimated as "50:50". This was stated by advocate Dmitry Dinze after the announcement of the verdict of guilty. After the pronouncement of the verdict, Oleg Sentsov and Alexander Kolchenko sang the national anthem of Ukraine.

Today, the court has found Ukrainian film director Oleg Sentsov and ecologist Alexander Kolchenko guilty of terrorism. Alexander Kolchenko is sentenced to 10 years, and Oleg Sentsov to 20 years of imprisonment in a high-security penal colony. The advocates have announced the intention to challenge the verdict.

About 100 people attended the courtroom to listen to the pronouncement of the verdict. Seven Rostov activists also came to the court.

Oleg Sentsov was sentenced to 15 years of imprisonment under the article on creation and control of a terrorist community, to 10 and 11 years of imprisonment for involvement in two arsons classified as terror acts, to seven years of imprisonment for preparation of the explosion, and to five years of imprisonment for illegal possession of weapons and ammunition.

As a result of partial combination of terms of punishment, Oleg Sentsov was sentenced to 20 years of imprisonment.

According to the judge, Oleg Sentsov and Alexander Kolchenko will serve their sentences in a high-security penal colony, and it is still not specified to which region they will be transferred.

The Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) has already expressed its protest concerning the verdict of the Russian court against Oleg Sentsov and Alexander Kolchenko.
