Accused Russian opposition leader Vladimir Kara-Mursa says he has no regrets about his statements – although he now faces 25 years in prison for comments against the Ukraine offensive. “I sign every word I said and am being charged with today,” a journalist quoted Kara-Mursa’s last words in court on Telegram on Monday. “Not only do I have no regrets, I’m proud of it,” he continued.
The 41-year-old faces multiple charges, including high treason and spreading misinformation about the Russian military. In a closed-door hearing last week, prosecutors asked for 25 years in prison for Kara-Mursa.
‘Too few compatriots managed to convince’
“I only blame myself,” continued the Kremlin critic. “I have failed to convince enough of my compatriots and politicians in democratic countries of the danger the current Kremlin regime poses to Russia and the world.”
Kara-Mursa’s verdict is expected next Monday. “I also know that the day will come when the darkness will disappear from our land,” Putin’s longtime opponent said. “When war is called war” and “those who initiated and started this war are branded as criminals, not those who tried to stop it.”
