A resident of St. Petersburg has been arrested for painting heart shapes on two buildings in what investigators claim was a "sign of love and respect" for Ukraine's armed forces. Oleg Pronin was arrested after investigators say he “desecrated” the two buildings with inscriptions and heart graffiti, according to the joint press service of the courts of St. Petersburg. Pronin now stands accused of vandalism motivated by political hostility, as well as the possession of weapons owing to ammunition he allegedly kept at home. Pronin has admitted guilt, according to the press service. To read the original story by RFE/RL's Russian Service, click here.
