In Crimean Belogorsk, a technical school teacher Andrey Belozerov, who was fired for playing a Ukrainian song by Taras Borovka about the Turkish Bayraktar drone, was arrested for 13 days. Asstated in the message of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Crimea, the court found him guilty of "discrediting" the army and demonstrating Nazi symbols.
According to the police, Belozerov “showed students a video with a song that is confusingly similar to Nazi paraphernalia, in which the actions of an unmanned aerial vehicle used against the armed forces of the Federation were reproduced.”
The Ministry of Internal Affairs published a video in which Belozerov is first taken out of the building, and then he says on camera that he was taken to the department "on the fact of demonstrating a video of inappropriate content", which he showed to students "for informational purposes." The policeman asks him if he pleads guilty, he says he does.
Pro-Russian channels claimed that the denunciation of Belozerov was written by the students themselves. Shot wrote that he allegedly constantly said that he was “waiting for the arrival of the Armed Forces of Ukraine”, and hinted that “there will be no Crimean bridge soon.”
The head of the annexed Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov, earlier promised to open criminal cases against those who sing Ukrainian songs in the republic and support Ukraine. All this, according to him, is "a betrayal of Russia."
