Cherkasy court sentences two administrators of telegram channels on summons

Two administrators of Telegram channels have been convicted for obstructing mobilization measures in Cherkasy region. This was reported by the press service of the Cherkasy Regional Prosecutor's Office.

The prosecutors of the Cherkasy Regional Prosecutor's Office proved in court the involvement of two individuals from Cherkasy in obstructing the legitimate activities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine during a special period (part 1 of Article 114-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
