Ovsyannikova is “in one of the European countries,” her lawyer Dmitry Sakhvatov said on Monday, according to the Ria Novosti news agency in Moscow. She was “forced” to leave the country and is now “under the protection of one of the European countries”.
The first station employee, previously considered loyal to the line, held an anti-war poster in-camera on a news program in mid-March.
She then spent several months abroad and temporarily worked for the German newspaper “Welt”. In mid-July they again protested against the war in view of the Kremlin. She was accused of spreading alleged misinformation about the Russian military. According to the agency Interfax, she faces between five and ten years in prison.
According to Russian media, a Moscow court ruled Monday that Ovshannikova’s children must live with their father. However, the daughter had already left the country with her mother. The journalist’s eldest son spoke out to live with his father during the trial.
