The case was brought before a court on June 27, but the court did not publish the ruling, citing confidentiality.

Lunny, who fought in Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine, previously posted a video calling for a direct meeting with Putin, warning that the Russian military could turn its weapons against the Kremlin if he wasn’t allowed to speak alongside the president. His video received millions of views.
