A district court in Russia's Rostov region, on the Ukrainian border, disclosed that the manager of a company called Tekhnologiya LLC was responsible for stocking and selling food to Russian troops stationed in eastern Ukraine.The court sentenced the manager to five years in prison on charges of transferring about $13,500 from his boss to a local government official, to curry favor with authorities and avoid disruptions in the supply chain. "These rations were intended to be sent to military units of the Russian Armed Forces stationed on the territory of the DNR and LNR," the court said in the verdict that was posted online, referring to the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk "people's republics" in eastern Ukraine.After the document started spreading on Russian media, the page was quickly taken down from the court's website. On Friday, the Ukrainian military said in a Facebook post that a soldier was killed in a new "ceasefire violation by the Russian occupational forces."The tense military standoff has escalated in recent weeks amid U.S. intelligence warnings that Russia is massing troops along its side of the Ukrainian border.
