The head of the Investigative Committee ordered to open a case on a report of discrediting the Russian Armed Forces by a doctor. “Having learned that a seven-year-old boy was grieving for his father, who died in the Northern Military District zone, the doctor reacted with ridicule,” the department said in a statement.

Earlier it became known that employees of the Russian Investigative Committee opened more than 270 criminal cases for false information about the Russian armed forces in almost two years. Almost 70 thousand Internet resources with fakes discredited the actions of the army and Russian authorities have been blocked in 2023.
