Fifty persons charged with endorsing Russian war in Ukraine

Police have charged nearly 50 people in Czechia in connection with the war in Ukraine since the conflict broke out in February. According to police spokesman Ondrej Moravčík, most of the charges are related to support for the Russian aggression, expressed primarily on social media and the internet. A verdict has been passed in about ten of those cases, in which the people charged were either acquitted or given financial penalties.
