Oleg Kashintsev, a former Russian policeman, holds a placard reading "Free Navalny! Putin is a killer!" on Moscow's Red Square in 2021.

A Moscow court sentenced in absentia police officer Oleg Kashintsev to eight years in prison on a charge of discrediting Russia's armed forces by spreading "false" information about Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.
