A Russian court fines prominent Kremlin critic Yevgeny Roizman 260,000 rubles (around $3,250) for comments he made about the Ukraine conflict. The sentence is lenient when compared to those handed to other critical voices inside Russia since the beginning of the offensive. Speaking outside the courthouse, the 60-year-old former mayor of the city of Yekaterinburg -- who plead not guilty at the trial, where he faced a maximum possible sentence of five years behind bars -- says "in my view, under these circumstances, this is an acquittal."
