A Russian journalist working for state-television, who last year protested the Kremlin's full-scale military intervention in Ukraine, was handed more than eight years in prison on Wednesday for spreading disinformation about Moscow's army.
A court in Moscow said Marina Ovsyannikova, a former editor at Channel One who disrupted a live broadcast, had been jailed for eight years and six months. Ovsyannikova, 45, left Russia after the proceedings were initiated.
