Dad of soldier killed on Russian warship targeted by Vladimir Putin's security service

Dmitry Shkrebets, 43, has led a solo campaign for transparency and justice on the fate of the Black Sea Fleet flagship which was sunk on April 14.

His son Yegor was lost in the sinking as a 20-year-old conscript, despite Putin publicly insisting that draftees would not be sent to war.
