In‍ a recent progress that has sparked controversy,a Ukrainian court has sentenced a prominent pro-Russian figure to 14 years in prison for ⁤high treason. the verdict, handed down ‍by the Solomensky Court⁣ of Kyiv, marks a significant legal milestone in Ukraine’s ongoing efforts to combat pro-Russian activities.

Elena Berezhnaya, a known supporter of Russia and separatist ⁣movements, was found guilty ⁤under ​article 111 Part 1 of the ​criminal Code of Ukraine.Her ⁤case has drawn widespread attention, particularly due to her involvement in pro-Russian rallies and ⁤her vocal defense of the Moscow Patriarchate. Berezhnaya is also the mother of the late Irina Berezhnaya, a former ⁢People’s ​Deputy of⁣ the Party of Regions.

The sentencing ⁢has ignited a ⁤firestorm of reactions,‍ with ​Russian propagandists decrying the decision as “judicial arbitrariness.” Oleg Tsarev,​ a former deputy of the Party ⁢of Regions, took to his Telegram channel to express his outrage, accusing the court of bias and unfair treatment.

On the other ⁤side of the debate, Ukrainian journalist and blogger Denis ⁣Kazansky praised the court’s decision, highlighting the‍ contrast ‍between Ukraine’s legal system and ‌russia’s⁣ treatment of political prisoners. “Very good,” Kazansky wrote. “They weren’t tortured to death,⁢ as you did with the mayor of Dneprorudny, but they were condemned ​for the deed in a civilized manner. Now let’s see how you don’t abandon your people and free her in exchange. ⁣this could easily have been done earlier, without even waiting for the trial. It’s just more important for you to torture Ukrainians than ‍to save ⁢your own.”

The case of Elena Berezhnaya underscores the broader tensions between Ukraine and Russia, particularly in the context of Ukraine’s efforts ​to ‍align more closely with Western values and institutions. The verdict serves as a stark reminder of the ‌consequences ‌faced by those ‍who actively ​support Russia’s influence in‌ Ukraine.
