A Russian court has sentenced a pro-Ukrainian activist from Moscow-annexed Crimea, Oleh Prykhodko, to five years in prison on terrorism charges that he and his supporters have dismissed as politically motivated.
Ukrainian Ombudswoman Lyudmyla Denisova said on Telegram that the Southern District Military Court in the city of Rostov-on-Don on March 3 ordered Prykhodko to pay a 110,000 ruble (around $1,500) fine.
Denisova called the court s ruling unlawful and based on fabricated charges of an attempted terrorist attack and plotting an arson attack against the Russian Consulate in [Ukraine s western city of] Lviv in 2019. I condemn the unlawful verdict by the Russian court and consider it retaliation from the occupying government for Oleh s pro-Ukrainian stance [and] his public refusal to recognize Crimea s annexation by Russia, Denisova s statement said, while also saying that Prykhodko has a medical condition.
