“Unfortunately, it is worth noting that the verdict is politicized. As far as I know, the appearance of an expert contributed to his passing, ”the agency quotes the words of the Russian ombudsman.
According Moskalkova, the court did not provide sufficient evidence of the guilt of Russian women.
She also noted that the conditions of Butina’s detention in a US prison cannot be considered satisfactory.
“It is important that she is serving a sentence in conditions that meet international standards. So that she is not placed with other women who have repeatedly committed crimes, so that her camera is appropriate, ”the ombudsman in Russia stressed.
In addition, she called on the US authorities to provide the Russian woman with necessary medical and psychological assistance.
It became known earlier that a court in the United States sentenced Butin to 1.5 years in prison for "conspiring to work illegally for the Russian government."
The first deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs, Dmitry Novikov, in an interview with RT, said that Butina had become the "cog" of a big US propaganda campaign against Russia.
