According to information published in the pro-government video, Alexander Malikov, in December 2021, left an offensive comment on one of the social networks addressed to the commander of a military unit based in the Lida region. The defendant’s last posts on social networks date back to October 2023. Presumably, that's when he was detained.
He did not admit his guilt in court, explaining that he did not intend to insult the serviceman.
On March 19, 2024, the appeal was considered and the verdict entered into force.
