In the Kaliningrad region, a court sentenced a local resident to six years in prison for spreading false information about the Russian Armed Forces, the regional court’s press service reported.
As the court established, in 2022, a 32-year-old resident of the city of Svetlogorsk l., using his Messenger account, under the guise of reliable messages, published false information about the alleged actions of the Russian Armed Forces and government bodies during the conduct of the Northern Military District in Ukraine.
