Russian Father Jailed for Daughter's Anti-War Artwork in Shocking Case

The Kremlin has broken its silence on the case of a single father sentenced to prison after his daughter’s anti-war drawing provoked the wrath of Vladimir Putin’s security services. Putin’s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, told reporters on Wednesday the case against Alexei Moskalev is not as “straightforward” as it seems and attacked him for his “lamentable” parenting. Moskalev was sentenced to two years in prison for supposedly “discrediting” the Russian military after his daughter Masha drew a picture featuring the words “No to war” and “Glory to Ukraine” at school.
