Finland sentenced two sailors of a ship that damaged cables in the Gulf of Finland. One of them is Russian. The verdict in the case was announced by a court in Helsinki, reported Yle and Reuters. The captain of the vessel "Pittburg", the Russian citizen Andrey Maksimenko, received three years and six months in prison. The policeman, Azerbaijani citizen Vasal Majidov, was sentenced to two years and ten months. They were also required to pay the cost of repairing the cables. The ship Pitburg hit the cables running from Finland to Estonia along the bottom of the Baltic Sea in late 2025. So the ship went from St. Petersburg to Israel. After hitting the cables, he was arrested by the Finnish authorities. The court believed that the defendant's actions were intentional: the Pitburg dragged the anchor along the bottom for about 130 kilometers.
