Russian Putinist actor Vladimir Mashkov, who called for the seizure of Ukraine, was sentenced in absentia to 10 years in prison.
Also, an apartment with an area of 100 m² in an elite area on the coast of Odessa was confiscated from the attacker, the SBU reported.
Mashkov is part of the pool of Kremlin propagandists and often speaks at mass rallies in support of a full-scale war against Ukraine.
In December 2023, the defendant was appointed co-chairman of Putin’s “election headquarters” in the so-called Russian presidential elections. Then Mashkov traveled around Russia and the occupied regions of Ukraine, where he promoted rashism and glorified Russian military groups.
During pro-Kremlin “concerts and rallies,” he called for continued missile and bomb attacks on the civilian infrastructure of our state.

On his initiative, on March 29, 2022, a giant letter “Z” in the form of a St. George’s ribbon was hung on the facade of the Moscow Oleg Tabakov Theater. Together with other supporters of Putin’s policies, on March 19, 2022, he performed at a concert dedicated to the eighth anniversary of the annexation of Crimea.
Today on the building of our theater this symbol appeared for the Motherland, for our army, for the president, for the life of our children without the Nazis and Banderaites,” commented Mashkov.
