Leonid Glushchenko

Ukrainian serviceman. In the spring of 2022, he was captured in Mariupol. On 18 March 2024, a court in the occupied part of the Donetsk region of Ukraine sentenced him to 26 or 27 years in a strict regime colony on charges of attempted murder, conducting prohibited methods of warfare and damage to property: according to the investigation, he and other Ukrainian servicemen shelled residential houses and civilian infrastructure on the outskirts of Mariupol. In addition, a case was opened against him for participation in the activities of a terrorist community and undergoing training for the purpose of carrying out terrorist activities due to his involvement in the activities of the Azov battalion. On 5 August 2025, Glushchenko was sentenced to 28 years in a strict regime colony on this case, taking into account his previous sentence.
