Children to serve as witnesses against own mum in court for ‘discrediting’ Russian army

Younger siblings compelled to testify in a court case against their mother after she was charged with frequently “discrediting” the Russian army.

When Lidia Prudovskaya shared anti-war content on the Russian social networking site VKontakte in September 2022, she was previously charged administratively for the same offence.

Russian investigators have now called her back before the court.

Her two kids, a son, 10, and a daughter, 9, were called to testify in the case as well.

According to the Russian news outlet Sota, the family from the northern region of Arkhangelsk all received their orders on Friday.

After Vladimir Putin began his invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, a legislation was passed making it illegal to disparage the Russian military.

Kremlin critics are frequently subjected to legal action.

Following an anti-war caricature created by his daughter at school, a single father in Russia was found guilty of defaming the military and filed a petition to limit his parenting rights in April.

The 54-year-old Alexei Moskalyov received a two-year prison term for his social media posts that condemned Moscow’s conflict in Ukraine.

Maria, his 13-year-old daughter, was initially placed in an orphanage before moving back in with her mother.

Volodymyr Zelensky, the president of Ukraine, stated this week that his troops had achieved a “significant” progress in the south of the nation.

He said they had retaken Staromaiorske in the Donetsk area, close to the Zaporizhzhia province, in a video he tweeted on Thursday showing a group of soldiers holding a Ukrainian flag.

“Our South!” cried Zelensky. My dudes! Honour to Ukraine

On Wednesday, he said in his nightly speech, “By the way, today our boys had very good results at the front.” Excellent for them.

It happens while severe battle, which is part of Ukraine’s counteroffensive against Russian forces, rages on in the southeast of the country.
