Russian woman fined for discrediting military

A court in Stary Oskol, Russia, has fined a local resident 30,000 rubles for discrediting the Russian military. The case stems from a February 1 conflict between 57-year-old Nina N. and her neighbor, a soldier, during which she reportedly said, 'I hope you die in your SMO, glory to Bandera, it's good that you people are being killed there.' The woman denied the specific statements in court, claiming the argument was over a dog in the building's entrance. The court ruled her words constituted negative statements directed at Russian servicemen and disagreement with the 'special military operation.'
