Russia Sentences Ex-Officers to 19 Years for Arson Attack on Enlistment Office.

Two former Russian security and emergency service officers have been sentenced to 19 years in prison each for setting fire to a city administration building in protest of Russia's "partial" mobilization and the war in Ukraine. The men were found guilty of conspiracy to commit arson and training for the purpose of carrying out terrorist activities. The sentences are the longest to be handed down yet over an attack on a military recruitment office since the start of the war in Ukraine. Scores of military recruitment offices have been subjected to arson attacks across Russia since the start of the war.
