The Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) approved an indictment against 31-year-old Canadian citizen John Inso in the case of participation of a mercenary in an armed conflict. The Prosecutor General's Office of Russia reported this to Lenta.ru.

According to investigators, in the winter of 2023 he arrived on the territory of Ukraine and, after undergoing military training, was provided with weapons and equipment.

His actions resulted in loss of life and destruction of civilian infrastructure. During the period spent in Ukraine, the mercenary received an honorarium of 3.5 million rubles. Russia has put Inso on the international wanted list. The criminal case was sent to the Supreme Court of the Donetsk People's Republic for consideration on the merits.
