Vladimir Kara-Murza is being tried over his criticism of the Ukraine offensive

“I failed to convince enough of my compatriots and politicians in democratic countries of the danger that the current Kremlin regime poses for Russia and for the world.”

Speaking to journalists outside the court, the British ambassador in Russia, Deborah Bronnert, said the verdict was “shocking” and called for Kara-Murza’s immediate release.At the time of his arrest last year, Mr Kara-Murza was one of the few prominent opposition figures who chose to stay in Russia. Most, including allies of the jailed opposition leader Alexei Navalny, have fled due to safety concerns since the outbreak of the war.

In 2015 and 2017, Mr Kara-Murza fell into two separate comas in Moscow after displaying symptoms that doctors said were consistent with poisoning. Concerns over Mr Kara-Murza’s health have been rising in recent weeks after he was too unwell to attend his hearing last month. His lawyer, Vadim Prokhorov, said in a statement on Facebook at the time that he was being treated for polyneuropathy, which he is suffering from as a result of the two poison attacks.
