Russian prosecutors are seeking an eight-year prison sentence for culinary historian Pavel Syutkin, who was arrested last October over Telegram posts discussing atrocities committed against civilians in the Kyiv suburb of Bucha. The case is part of Russia's broader crackdown on individuals who publicly discuss war crimes allegations linked to the invasion of Ukraine. Syutkin's prosecution adds to a growing list of Russians facing lengthy prison terms for speech deemed critical of the military or the war effort.
