The “Caucasian Knot” has reported that in Krasnodar, law enforcers detained spouses Olesya Ovchinnikova and Aleksei Ovchinnikov in a restaurant for their pacifist talk. The spouses were taken to the police department, but later, law enforcers let Olesya Ovchinnikova go home to take care of her minor child. Aleksei Ovchinnikov was sentenced to 15 days of arrest for disorderly conduct. His wife was fined 1000 roubles under the same article, and, furthermore, a protocol was drawn up against her on discrediting the Russian Armed Forces. Besides, a video was posted on the Internet, in which Olesya Ovchinnikova was pronouncing slogans in support of Ukraine.

The court found that on January 29, in the restaurant hall, the woman was shouting the slogans discrediting the Russian Armed Forces, the joint press service for the courts of the Krasnodar Territory reported in its Telegram channel.
