A local court in the Moscow region on September 9 sentenced an engineer at a military factory in the city of Dubna to three years in prison for writing pro-Ukrainian messages on key chains. The court found Sergei Krasyuk guilty of discrediting the Russian military by writing "Glory to Ukraine," "Ukraine Will Prevail," and "Putin is a Thief" on key chains used for mobile-phone storage boxes. The OVD-Info group, which monitors arrests and trials of anti-war activists, says at least 1,033 probes have been launched against individuals thought to have publicly condemned the war against Ukraine.
