The Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation demands to recognize the Ukrainian “Legion of Freedom of Russia” as terrorist ”

The Russian Prosecutor General’s Office requires recognizing the Ukrainian “Liberty of Russia” by terrorist. The corresponding lawsuit in the Supreme Court was sent by the Prosecutor General Igor Krasnov.

“The legion was created with the aim of undermining the foundations of the constitutional system of Russia, the overthrow of power in the country, including through terrorist acts, which poses a threat to the security of society and the state,” the Prosecutor General’s Office said.

“Legion“ Freedom of Russia ”” is an armed formation in which the Ukrainian authorities say on the side of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, captured Russian soldiers and volunteers with a Russian passport. There are no independent evidence of the real existence of the Legion.

Ilya Ponomarev, a former State Duma deputy, who received citizenship of Ukraine in 2019, previously spoke about the “Liberty of Russia” ”. In April, the office of the Interfax-Ukraine agency hosted a press conference at which several men in Balaclavas called themselves members of this detachment. They did not name their names.
