A journalist for the Russian edition of Forbes magazine has been detained on charges of spreading false information about the Russian military. Sergei Mingazov is currently being held in the Far Eastern city of Khabarovsk. His lawyer, Konstantin Bubon, confirmed the detention on social media.
Mingazov's detention stems from social media posts he made regarding the Ukrainian city of Bucha. This city gained international attention when over 400 bodies of civilians were discovered, with many showing signs of torture, after Russian forces withdrew in April 2022.
