Russian Supreme Court Labels Free Russia Legion as Terrorist Organization.
TL;DR
Russia's Supreme Court has declared the Freedom of Russia Legion, a part of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, a terrorist organization. The legion was founded with the aim of freeing occupied regions of Ukraine and overthrowing the "dictatorial regime of Vladimir Putin." The Russian Prosecutor General's Office argued that the legion has been established to "overthrow the government." The decision means that Russian citizens joining the legion now face up to two decades in jail.
