"Russian Prosecutors Push for Long Prison Sentences in Ukraine War-Linked Cases"

Russian prosecutors seek lengthy prison terms for individuals involved in cases linked to the war in Ukraine, including a 19-year sentence for a man who shot a military enlistment officer and a 28-year sentence for a woman charged in a cafe bombing that killed a prominent military blogger. Tensions in Russian society have heightened due to President Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine, leading to rare protests and conscription of men with no military experience. The woman claimed she was acting upon instructions from two men and Russian authorities have blamed Ukrainian intelligence agencies for orchestrating the bombing.
