Russian Politician Lev Shlosberg Sentenced to 11 Years Over War Criticism
A Russian court in Pskov sentenced opposition politician Lev Shlosberg to 11 years in prison for his public criticism of the invasion of Ukraine.

Shlosberg was convicted of spreading "false information" about the military, a charge frequently used by the Kremlin to silence anti-war sentiment among prominent political figures and activists within the country.
