The indictment against actor Kirill Kanakhin, accused of treason, has been confirmed. In this respect reported Moscow Prosecutor’s Office on the Telegram channel.
41-year-old Kirill Kanakhin is accused of going over to the enemy side by a citizen of the Russian Federation.
“Kanakhin, a supporter of right-wing radical nationalist views based on Russophobia and the idea of Ukrainian nationalism, left the territory of the Russian Federation. In August 2022, on the territory of Ukraine, Kanakhin joined the Russian Volunteer Corps, banned in the Russian Federation and recognized as a terrorist organization, as part of which he took part in hostilities against the Armed Forces from January to March 2023.
