A Russian pro-war blogger has been charged with discrediting the army after publicly criticizing Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov and corruption within the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR). Separately, a former Donetsk separatist official was detained in St. Petersburg on similar charges related to discrediting the Russian military. These actions reflect ongoing tensions within Russia over dissent related to the conflict in eastern Ukraine and the conduct of allied forces.
