A Russian court has ordered the house arrest of a Forbes journalist who was detained on charges of spreading fake news about the Russian armed forces. The journalist will remain under house arrest for at least two months as he awaits trial.
The detention came after the journalist reposted a publication on Telegram regarding the events in Bucha, Ukraine. The city of Bucha was liberated by Ukrainian forces in March 2022, with reports of war crimes committed by the Russian army in the area.
