The Russian parliament has passed a law which gives combat-veteran status to Russian troops fighting in Ukraine, even though calling it a"war" is prohibited.
It would apply to those who took part in the campaign in Ukraine and the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics in the Donbass region. Exiled oil baron Mikhail Khodorkovsky, former chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov and Lyubov Sobol, an ally of jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny, are among vehement critics of President Vladimir Putin who have appeared in a video to condemn the war.
The video released Wednesday comes a day after Navalny was sentenced to an additional nine years in a prison colony in a fraud conviction widely criticized by rights groups. He told students in Moscow the talks were"tough" but that Kyiv"constantly changes its position," and added that Washington"wants to keep us in a state of military action as long as possible."
