Greenpeace targeted in Russian dissent crackdown, top anti-Putin politician spared jail time

While Russia has declared Greenpeace a national security threat for its pro-Ukraine advocacy, a top anti-Putin politician, Yevgeny Roizman, was spared a prison sentence.

"Since the beginning of the special military operation of the Russian Federation to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine, Greenpeace activists have been engaged in anti-Russian propaganda, calling for further economic isolation of our country and tougher sanctions," it said.

But Greenpeace’s Russian office said, "We are sure that the declaration of Greenpeace International as an undesirable organization is due precisely to the fact that we tried to prevent the implementation of plans that are destructive to nature and in many cases did it successfully.
