A Russian filmmaker, Vsevolod Korolyov, received a three-year prison sentence for criticizing Moscow’s Ukraine offensive on social media. The court found him guilty of spreading “untrue” information about Ukraine’s conflict. Prosecutors sought a nine-year jail term. Korolyov’s case underscores Russia’s crackdown on dissent since its military intervention in Ukraine. Another resident received a five-year sentence for similar charges, indicative of widespread repression reminiscent of Soviet-era tactics.
