According to investigators, this winter Krasyuk wrote “Glory to Ukraine,” “Victory will be Ukraine's,” and “Putin is a thief” on the tags of the keys to the cell phones at the plant. Upon discovering the inscriptions, the head of the plant's security ordered the doors to be blocked and the workers to be evacuated.

The court found that Krasyuk's actions discredited the army and the government, causing disruption to work. Seven more Russians have been charged with the same offense since the start of the war, according to statistics from OVD-Info. In total, criminal cases for anti-war positions in Russia were opened against at least 1,033 people.

Krasyuk fully admitted his guilt and compensated the plant for damages at the preliminary investigation stage, but the court did not take this into account. The engineer has two minor children.
