A court in Russia's Kursk region, which borders Ukraine, has sentenced a 19-year-old man from Siberia to six years in prison on treason charges. The courts' press service on August 3 said Danil Berdyugin of Novosibirsk had been found guilty of preparing to commit treason and attempted illegal border crossing. No other details were available as the trial, which started on July 26, was held behind closed doors. Berdyugin took part in anti-war rallies and signed several petitions in Novosibirsk demanding an end to Russia's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine launched in February 2022.
