Mikhail Balabanov sentenced to 4.5 years

The 21 year old from Kazan Mikhail Balabanov has been sentenced in the southern district military court. The young man was found guilty of preparing an "act of terrorism" and was given a custodial sentence of 4 years and 6 months. He will have to spend two of those years in a prison and the rest in a strict regime prison colony. Meanwhile, the court reduced the seriousness of part of the charge against him, not finding a "group of people".

Balabanov was accused of conspiracy with an unspecified agent of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine and of preparing an arson attack on a military recruitment office in Nevinnomyssk. Mikhail does not accept the charge against him, and his defence believes that it was FSB agents who corresponded with him. The security forces may have come after the young man after he called the Ukrainian project to help those wishing to surrender, "I want to live" — Mikhail wanted to avoid being sent to the front.
