A doctor accused of criticising the war in Ukraine in front of a patient has been jailed for five and a half years after being convicted of spreading false information about the Russian military.

Dr Nadezhda Buyanova, 68, was arrested in February after Anastasia Akinshina, the mother of one of her patients, reported the paediatrician to authorities.
