Russian Father Flees Jail After Daughter Draws Anti-War Picture.

A Russian single father, Alexei Moskalyov, who was sentenced to two years in prison for criticizing the war in Ukraine, has fled detention after being placed under house arrest. His daughter's anti-war drawing at school first drew authorities' attention, and she was taken from him when he was detained earlier this month. The case has highlighted the Kremlin's crackdown on free speech, and even some Russian hard-liners are expressing misgivings about the severity of the case. Moskalyov's lawyer said his client had not pleaded guilty, and they plan to appeal his sentence.
