Occupiers in Sevastopol sentenced a former Ukrainian Armed Forces soldier to 18 years in prison
In the temporarily occupied city of Sevastopol, Russian occupiers have sentenced Ruslan Chorny-Shvets, a former Ukrainian Armed Forces soldier, to 18 years in prison.
This was reported by Suspilne Krym.
The occupying “court” found him guilty of so-called “treason” and claimed that he allegedly passed on information about Russian military facilities.
He is also considered an “accomplice” of another political prisoner, Serhiy Lykhomanov.
According to the occupiers’ ruling, Chornyi-Shvets must serve 18 years in a maximum-security prison and was also fined.
The Ukrainian side and the relatives of those involved do not recognize these charges, emphasizing the illegality of such “sentences” in the occupied territories.
A Russian man attacked Russian theater and film actor Artur Smolyaninov, who was added to Russia’s list of “terrorists and extremists” for condemning the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, in Germany. An unknown individual used profanity against the actor and threatened to “tear him to pieces” when he arrives in Russia.
Soviet and Russian actress and singer Alla Pugacheva stood by her husband, Maxim Galkin, and asked the Russian authorities to add her to the list of “foreign agents.”
