Court acquits teacher accused of denying war crimes in Ukraine

The former schoolteacher standing trial for denying Russian war crimes in Ukraine was acquitted by a court on Thursday. According to the judge, her actions were not a crime and she had already been punished by losing her job.

The judge instead proposed an eight-month probation for the woman, a former Czech teacher at a Prague primary school, and a five-year ban on pedagogic, educational or other work with children.
