In a court hearing in the regional capital of Tula on Monday, a Russian man named Alexei Moskalyov, who had been investigated by the police following his daughter’s anti-war drawing at school, expressed his willingness to face capital punishment rather than being separated from her.
Earlier this year, Moskalyov was sentenced to two years in a penal colony for discrediting the Russian army. However, he fled house arrest in Yefremov, a town in the Tula region, and sought refuge in Belarus. He was quickly apprehended and extradited back to Russia.
