Russian teen faces years in jail over social media post criticizing war in Ukraine

Olesya Krivtsova has an anti-Putin tattoo on one ankle and a bracelet on the other that tracks her every move. A 19-year-old girl from Russia’s Arkhangelsk region must wear a device while under house arrest after being accused of social media posts that authorities say discredit the Russian military and justify terrorism. Krivcova also faces criminal charges for defaming the Russian military for allegedly criticizing the war in a student chat on the Russian social network VK.
