A Moscow resident was sentenced to 15 days in prison and fined 50,000 rubles ($789) for listening to Ukrainian music in his car, according to the human rights organization OVD-Info. The man, a single father raising four children, was reportedly charged with “discrediting” the Russian army and disobeying the police.
