Russian Court Jails Kremlin Critic for 11 Years for Opposing Ukraine War

A Russian court sentenced Kremlin critic Alexei Gorinov to 11 years in prison after proceedings tied to his opposition to the war in Ukraine. The verdict adds to an earlier punishment, keeping him behind bars as Russia continues to crack down on dissent and independent voices. Prosecutors accused him of actions and statements they described as justifying or supporting terrorism and spreading information that violated Russian law. Rights groups and supporters say the case is politically motivated and part of broader efforts to silence anti-war opposition.
