The Moscow Khoroshevsky Court has ordered the arrest of Pavel Muntyan in abstentia. Muntyan is known in Russia as the creator of the cartoon figure that parodies a certain prominent political character often associated with former U.S. leadership. He is already registered as a foreign agent in the Russian Federation, and the arrest concerns claims that he disseminated information deemed false about the Russian Armed Forces. The development marks a continuation of the state’s enforcement actions against what authorities describe as misinformation tied to national security. According to official communications, the court accepted the request to place Muntyan under arrest in abstentia. This decision comes amid ongoing investigations into content circulated on social platforms that is alleged to misrepresent military operations and capabilities. — Source: TASS.
