In Kryvyi Rih, a woman was sentenced to 6 years for justifying the aggression of the Russian Federation: case details.

In the Dnipropetrovsk region, the Kryvyi Rih court issued a verdict against a woman, finding her guilty of spreading information that justifies the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine. She disseminated hostile narratives on the Internet.

This is reported in the Unified Register of Court Decisions.

Case details

During the trial, it was revealed that for over a year, the woman published materials on the social network 'Vkontakte' that justified the actions of Russian occupiers. These publications claimed that the cities of Kharkiv, Odesa, and Mykolaiv historically belong to Russia and should be 'liberated,' and also denied the temporary occupation of Crimea.

During the court hearing, the defendant did not admit her guilt. She is a internally displaced person who was born in Crimea and lived in the Donetsk region.

The woman stated that she left her phone and tablet at home while working and suggested that someone else might have used her devices to publish controversial materials.

Court's decision

Although the defendant partially agreed with some of the publications, she refused to answer questions regarding the political situation in the country, considering it a misdemeanor rather than a crime.

The court sentenced the woman to six years of imprisonment with confiscation of property.

It was previously reported that in Zaporizhzhia, a man who justified the aggression of the Russian Federation was sought and sentenced. He tried to escape justice but appeared before the court.

We also informed that a woman in Odesa faced trial for justifying the occupation of Kherson and the shelling of energy facilities.

The news about the woman who was found guilty of spreading information that justifies the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine highlights the seriousness of such actions in countering the influence of disinformation and propaganda. The court issued a verdict against an individual whose actions contributed to hostile portrayals of the country and promoted aggressive and false concepts.
