On May 7, the court granted the request of the investigative authorities and arrested the journalist. The Second Western District Military Court handed down the sentence to the journalist on March 12 of this year. She was fined 600,000 rubles and released from custody right in the courtroom. Initially, the fine was 700,000 rubles, but taking into account the time spent in pretrial detention, the amount was reduced.
