The federal center ordered the regions to prepare volunteer battalions
All 85 constituent entities of the Russian Federation are required to prepare, form and finance one volunteer battalion to participate in the war with Ukraine.
A new criminal case was opened against the oppositionist Alexei Navalny, the fourth in a row.
Lawyers believe that Navalny faces a prison term of up to 15 years under Article 282 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation Part 1 – the creation and leadership of an extremist community.
Recall that in the summer of 2021, the Anti-Corruption Foundation was recognized as an extremist organization.
