Ukrainian court fully acquitted journalist Ruslan Kotsabu

57
Ukrainian media reported that the Court of Appeal of the Ivano-Frankivsk region issued an acquittal verdict against the Ukrainian journalist Ruslan Kotsaby. Recall that Kotsaba was detained after the YouTube published a video calling for the citizens of Ukraine to ignore the demands of mobilization campaigns.

The same movie:


Based on the video posted by the journalist on the Web, a criminal case was initiated against Kotsaba under the article on “obstructing the activities of the Ukrainian armed forces”. The defense provided materials that stated that the mobilization campaign was not within the competence of the country's armed forces. Moreover, none of the witnesses invited to the courtroom stated that Kotsaba’s video had somehow influenced him, and he refused to perform military service.

In the final part of the trial, the judge gave the floor to the journalist himself. Kotsaba once again expressed the words that he does not consider it necessary to respond to the mobilization demands, as there is a fratricidal war in the Donbas. According to Ruslan Kotsaba, on this basis it is impossible to say that his words, voiced through the Network, are any obstacle to the implementation of the activities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Reports about it UNIAN.

After the verdict was passed, the judge Ruslan Kotsaba was released right in the courtroom, which caused outrage among the Ukrainian radicals.

                  George agrees, but rummaging in his biography, he was also interested: He studied at the Kiev Higher Tank Engineering School (Department of Regimental Intelligence). And all, in what years, with whom, is probably a great secret. request Further: Since 2005 he worked:
                  in glossy publications in Ukraine “Natalie”, “The One”, “Polina”; in the Ukrainian newspaper Today.
                  in Russia he collaborated with the newspaper Moskovsky Komsomolets and others.
                  2006 - the article “Why a child sleeps” [4], written in December 2006, in which the journalist raised the question of the use of children by professional beggars in Kiev, belongs to the period of Sharia’s work in women's glossy magazines.
                  Since 2008 - a regular author of online publications “From-UA”, “Browser” (obozrevatel.com), since 2009 he has worked only with online publications.
                  From 2008 to the beginning of 2012, when he fled from Ukraine, he was the head of the investigations department of the Observer site. And what did he do before 2005? request And he ran under Yanuk, and not at the junta, although the trolls of them all are very notable.

        Yes, I agree, it is now important for them to observe at least the appearance of legality. In addition, Kotsaba was still punished - he spent one year and three months in prison (according to the formula "a year in two" - two years six months 8 days). And his example, the junta can use it "ideologically" - they say, think, no one will be left without punishment. I am sincerely happy for this courageous man (although he may be all over his head, but who has already begun to recover), and I agree that it is dangerous for him to remain in Ukraine.

        Maybe. Only the zigging "onizhedey" image does not really care, and Kotsaba should seriously think about his health. By the way, on the site "Peacemaker", is it already posted?

        Yes, the states wanted to spit on someone's opinion about their elections. Or does someone else think that the president is really elected in the monastery of democracy? There is a struggle of several groups, not even for power, but simply for the possibility of influence. Actually, the US president does not have any power, so the talking head. And all these choices are just a show for byd.la who are given the illusion that something depends on them. It does not matter who will be the president of the United States, US policy towards Russia and the whole world will remain the same. It always has been, and always will be.

      The article is interesting, especially the comments. I think it deserves a separate publication on VO.
      I myself had a rest in Crimea this summer. Now I know who I am - a "tourist separatist". Cool! lol

          I traveled with the whole family in my car. I went to Crimea through the "Armyansk checkpoint". The Ukrainians were inspected superficially, the main thing that interested them was the amount of alcohol and food. No questions about the purpose of the trip to the "invaders", etc., 15 minutes and a "bon voyage". At the Russian customs, the inspection was thorough, a large queue of cars formed, and they had to stand for 3 hours. Russians were not very interested in food and alcohol - the main emphasis was on weapons, explosives and drugs.
          During my trip to Crimea, I did not notice any "special" attitude towards my car (with Ukrainian numbers). The car "spent the night" in the courtyard of a multi-storey building, everything is calm, I did not even worry about possible acts of vandalism. In general, there are a lot of cars with Ukrainian in Crimea. numbers.
          Prices. Approximately 25 - 30% higher than in the "non-resort" cities of Ukraine. Well, if we take the seasonal "resort prices", then they are about the same.
          The beaches are full, people are friendly.
          The problem I ran into was that I could not use my bank card. The bank explained that this was due to the "sanctions against Crimea." By the way, outside the Crimea, on the mainland of Russia (where I also went), there were no problems with the map. So, I recommend that tourists from Ukraine bring cash to Crimea. Maybe the same recommendation applies to Russians - who knows which international financial groups your bank belongs to? It is better to "ventilate" this question in advance with the bank, otherwise without money at the resort - not a camilfo!
          In general, I am satisfied with the trip and rest in Crimea, I recommend it to everyone.

    Well, right now, Montyan will catch another "star" ... And what will happen if Kotsaba sues the SBU and makes a claim for an amount equal to the potential earnings for the period spent in prison + moral damage? It would be interesting to see ... what And Kotsaba himself can only be congratulated on gaining freedom. True, given his civic position and the laws that he had already passed in the parliament during his forced absence, I think that he will not be able to walk freely ...

    I carefully read the comments. Nobody especially applauds Kotsabe and Montian, and rightly so. They are Russophobes, in whom a part of the brain has turned on, looking at the European-nezalezhnoy reality in their wretched state. Come on, Ukrainians, move forward. Your path is the path of trial and error, try, maybe something will turn out, but do not count on Russia anymore. Your behavior is too scanty.

    And now the peasant needs to flee the country. Otherwise, everything will end for him as well as for Olesya Elderberry. Ukraine has become a Nazi country.
