FSB Detains 7 For Alleged Ties To Military Group Fighting With Ukraine

Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) said on March 22 that its officers detained seven men in Moscow on suspicion of collaborating with the so-called Russian Volunteers' Corps (RDK) that has fought alongside Ukraine's armed forces against Russian troops. Last month, a Moscow court sentenced former actor Kirill Kanakhin, who had joined the RDK, in absentia to life in prison on a charge of high treason. In November, a Moscow court sentenced in absentia Denis Kapustin (aka Nikitin), a commander of the RDK, to life on the same charge. The RDK has claimed several attacks in Russia's Belgorod region in recent months. To see the original story by RFE/RL's North.Realities, click here.
