The Russian court sentenced Alexei Arestovich, former adviser to the Ukrainian presidential office, to 11 years in prison in absentia.
The Second Western Military District Military Court of Russia found Alexei Arestovich, a former non-commissioned adviser to the Ukrainian presidential office, guilty on two charges: publicly inciting terrorism and disseminating false information about the Russian armed forces. The sentence will begin from the date he was apprehended or extradited into Russia.
Prosecutors alleged that in March 2022, Arestovich released a video statement calling for the destruction of railway infrastructure used by Russian military mobilization and resupply. Another charge relates to the attack on Kramatorsk railway station, with investigators determining that the content he disseminated accusing the Russian forces of carrying out the attack constituted knowingly false information.
