💨 Abstract

A Russian court sentenced Ukrainian fighter Oleksii Smykov, of the Azov regiment, to 23 years in prison for alleged terrorist activity and seizing power. His girlfriend, Kateryna Bondarenko, was shocked by the verdict, while urging Ukraine's allies to pressure Russia for the return of captured fighters. Smykov was among those defending Mariupol when it was invaded in 2022.
