In the May Day district of the Altai Territory, no later than February 2024 (the exact date is unknown), 48-year-old local resident Nikolai Tsybalyuk was detained. He was accused of calling for terrorism. According to law enforcement, he created and administered a Telegram channel in which he called for donations to the Ukrainian Armed Forces and condemned Russia's invasion of Ukraine. As the prosecution claims, Tsymbalyuk allegedly "deliberately created a channel and filled it with anti-Russian content, including publishing "calls for various assistance to pro-Ukrainian terrorist organizations, whose activities are prohibited in the Russian Federation. The court sent Tsybalyuk into custody at the request of the investigation.
