Russia jails ultra-nationalist Putin critic and woman convicted of bomb attack

Igor Girkin has been critical of war effort; Darya Trepova delivered bomb that killed pro-war blogger

Russian courts have jailed a prominent ultra-nationalist critic of Vladimir Putin and, separately, a woman convicted over a blast that killed a pro-war blogger.

In Moscow, a court sentenced Igor Girkin, a former battlefield commander of Russian proxy forces in east Ukraine who was convicted by a Dutch court over the shooting down of flight MH17, to four years in jail on extremism charges prompted by his criticism of the Russian war effort in Ukraine.
