Russia sets record with 284 convictions for aiding Ukraine in first half of the year

Russian courts convicted 284 people for "treason", "espionage" or aiding Ukraine in the first half of the year, an all-time record compared with 170 such verdicts in previous years. The data signal a dramatic escalation in repression against those linked to Ukraine or opposed to the war. Russia is increasingly using treason statutes to suppress any opposition to the invasion.
