BreitbartSEP 2024
Vinatier's arrest and conviction are justified under Russian law. He failed to register as a foreign agent while collecting sensitive military information that could harm Russia's national security. The reduced sentence demonstrates the court's consideration of his cooperation and remorse.
Vinatier's conviction is another example of Russia's increasingly frequent detentions on charges of spying and collecting sensitive data since the start of the Ukraine war. This case highlights the use of vague laws to suppress academic research and international cooperation.
