Record convictions for treason in Russia

According to inkorr.com: In the first six months of this year, an unprecedented number of verdicts in treason cases were recorded in Russia – 224 decisions, the highest figure in the country's history. A significant portion of those convicted received sentences for this article – 76% of all cases.

Unfortunately, the names of more than half of the accused remain a secret, and data from occupied territories are not included in the overall reports. Information about individuals convicted of treason and espionage remains under strict control.

Analysts' forecasts

Experts expect that the number of people who will fall victim to repression due to charges of espionage, terrorism, and treason will increase. The situation in the occupied territories is deteriorating as collaborators begin to lose trust in Russian authorities due to closed and opaque court processes.

Ukrainian intelligence confirms that there is a tense situation in the occupied territories of Russia due to the arrests and convictions of citizens who collaborated with the enemy.

This situation in Russia indicates an increase in repression that affects not only ordinary citizens but also those who collaborated with the occupying forces. The large volume of verdicts reflects the pressure that society faces amid severe censorship and instability on the front lines. Thus, the repressive policies of the authorities are increasingly provoking outrage among the population, which seeks ways to resist such injustice.
