Russian-Ukrainian dual citizen Ivan Nedilsky was sentenced to 26 years in prison for treason, participation in a terrorist organization, and vandalism, Mediazona reported on July 16. The sentence was delivered in April by a Russian military court but had not previously been made public. Nedilsky was detained in October 2022 and accused of setting fire to two military enlistment offices and a cadastral service building. More than 500 people have been arrested in Russia since the 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine for vandalizing enlistment offices, police stations, city administration premises, and other buildings representing state authority to protest the war. Most are charged with terrorism, which carries a maximum sentence of life in prison. To read the original story by RFE/RL's Russian Service, click here
