The case was considered in 2 days: in the Russian Federation for balloons Ukrainian was sentenced to 12 years prison
After the start of a full -scale war in Ukraine, a resident of Kiev Christina Lyubashenko with her family - two children, her mother -in -law and her grandparents went to Switzerland with dementia. She lacked money for life there. One day a woman met a neighbor named Vitaliy Yurchenko, who, according to Christina Lyudmila Laurena's lawyer, "gave herself for a refugee from Ukraine.
" The man first gave the Ukrainians money in debt, and then asked to go to Moscow and hold a peaceful action against the war there for money: to launch yellow and blue balls into the sky. "There was no about the flag in the color scheme of white-white-white, nor about the columns from which the anthem of Ukraine and text should be broadcast, no language was said at that time,"-says Ukrainian lawyer Lyudmila Szaihna. Lyubashenko was exhorted, which was also followed by blackmail.
It was Yurchenko who bought a convicted ticket one way and rented an apartment in a long. Lyubashenko arrived in Moscow on May 5, 2023. After that, Yurchenko began to demand from her to install the columns on the window of the apartment with the anti -war speech and the anthem of Ukraine and threatened to inform the guardianship authorities in Switzerland that the mother of two children left them, and went abroad. Correspondence with blackmail is in the case file. The Ukrainian was forced to agree.
On May 8, she put a columns on the window against war, and then went to Sparrow Mountains to launch blue and white and white-blue flag in the air, which the organizer called the "flag of peace", and security forces in the Russian Federation consider it a legion flag " Freedom of Russia ", recognized by the Supreme Court of a terrorist organization.
According to the lawyer, Yurchenko was well -versed in Moscow, and law enforcement officers knew before the action they knew that she would happen and were ready to detain the Ukrainian. It is unclear, the defender emphasizes how the security officers learned in advance about the exact place and time of the action, while the operative assured that in the sparrow mountains they noticed Lyubashenko by accident.
"How professional feelings are our operative employees who were able to immediately recognize in a girl who comes out of a taxi, with balls of extremist and a terrorist, because it is so unusual - to meet a girl with balls on the streets of Moscow," - says the lawyer.
The prosecutor demanded for Christina Lyubashenko 15 years of imprisonment, and he asked this term taking into account the mitigating circumstances: I have not been convicted before, he has young children with his mother and grandfather. Lyubashenko took only two days. The lawyer asked the court to close the case due to the lack of signs of the crime. Christina Lyubashenko spoke in Ukrainian. She does not recognize herself: "How this thing happened, I think it is clear to you.
" The 2nd Western District Military Court sentenced 35-year-old Ukrainian Christina Lyubashenko to 12 years in prison, considering it guilty of spreading "fakes" on war and participation in a terrorist organization. It should be reminded that in Russia, because of the "cut" of the staff of the Ukrainian media, the Colonel of the GRU is judged.
