Russian Warrant Issued For Journalist Lazareva In Exile

Tatyana Lazareva

A Moscow court on July 10 issued an arrest warrant for journalist Tatyana Lazareva on a charge of justifying terrorism. The charge stems from a report Lazareva made about Ukrainian drones attacking sites inside Russia. Last month, the Russian authorities added Lazareva to the country's wanted list and the registry of "terrorists and extremists." In July 2022, Lazareva, who has openly condemned Moscow's full-scale aggression against Ukraine, was added to Russia's list of "foreign agents." Lazareva fled Russia after Moscow launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. To read the original story by Current Time, click here.
