Ukrainian court sentenced Russian State Duma deputies — EADaily, March 22, 2023 — Politics News, Russia News

A Ukrainian court sentenced in absentia to 15 years in prison with confiscation of property 20 deputies of the State Duma of Russia, including a deputy from the Krasnodar Territory – Sergey Altukhov. Because of their recognition of the LDNR, they are charged with “encroachment on the territorial integrity and inviolability of Ukraine.”

The Krasnodar politician wrote on his Telegram channel what he thinks about all this.

“The circus organs of the puppet fascist regime can be further abused – my position on supporting the decisions of our President will remain unchanged. The West and their obedient avatars use the courts – in The Hague and Kyiv – for political purposes, thereby destroying the foundations of their statehood, where they exist. In principle, in their illusory world it was possible to scrape together facts for more severe punishments. For feeding, treating and taking out from Rubizhne and Severodonetsk those “citizens” of Ukraine whom their state not only abandoned, but decided to destroy with heavy artillery. For the fact that from the very first days pasta, drinking water, batteries and generators were brought to Mariupol. For repairing and restoring communications, hospitals and schools. I am proud that the work for the benefit of our country and the entire Russian world is visible in all countries: in Kyiv, and in the States, and in the European Union. So we are doing everything right. I serve Russia! – wrote the Krasnodar deputy.

The fact that Sergei Altukhov, a member of the State Duma Committee on Economic Policy, along with 19 colleagues, received 15 years in prison became known the night before – the information was published by the SBU.

Sergei Altukhov was accused of allegedly contributing to the “seizure of part of the eastern regions of Ukraine”, and also that in February last year he supported the decision to appeal to the President of Russia with a request to recognize the independence of the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, and later voted for the ratification of agreements on friendship, cooperation and mutual assistance between Russia and the LDNR.
