A court in Russia's western city of Lipetsk has issued an arrest warrant for Ilya Danilov, the former leader of jailed opposition politician Aleksei Navalny's team in the city. Last month, Danilov, who is currently living outside of Russia, was added to the Interior Ministry's wanted list on a charge of discrediting Russia's armed forces. The charge stemmed from his posts on Telegram criticizing Moscow's ongoing unprovoked invasion of Ukraine. If arrested and convicted, Danilov faces up to 10 years in prison. To read the original story by RFE/RL's Russian Service, click here.
