From Google Translate: 'A column of 70 vehicles with food is estimated at RUB130 million Rostov court published a verdict confirming the presence of the Russian military in Donbass The Kirovsky District Court of Rostov-on-Don issued a verdict in November in a case of corruption in the supply of food, which indirectly confirms the presence of the Russian military in Donbas, where the war is going on. The document was published on the website of the court. The defendant in the case was the deputy regional manager for military nutrition of one of the commercial companies. He was found guilty of bribing the head of the Center for State Sanitary and Epidemiological Supervision of the Southern Military District with the rank of lieutenant colonel. It follows from the verdict that the official demanded 90 thousand rubles a month in order not to interfere with the supply of food to the Russian military. And we are talking about the military, who are in the east of Ukraine. “His responsibilities included organizing and fulfilling obligations for the purchase and sale of food and the creation of the necessary stock in the warehouse <...> The food was intended to be sent to military units of the RF Armed Forces deployed on the territory of the DPR and LPR,” the case file says. According to the testimony of the accused, food supplies to the DPR and LPR were carried out every two weeks. For this, a column of "more than 70 vehicles with a carrying capacity of about 40 tons and a total volume of more than 1300 tons" was formed. Among the products were flour, canned food, fresh vegetables. “The total cost of food for one delivery was more than 130 million rubles,” the verdict says. According to various estimates, one such delivery is enough to feed about 25 thousand people. The defendant also said that before the shipment of the cargo, the food was checked by a "Russian in the rank of major", and on the territory of Donbass the trucks were "under the protection of the receiving party." The Kremlin denies the presence of the Russian military in the DPR and LPR.'
