Ukrainian map seen during street action 'Who will punish the criminal?' in Lviv, Ukraine.Mykola Tys/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images Alexei Moskalev was sentenced Tuesday to two years behind bars for alleged antiwar social media posts. Before he could be imprisoned, though, Moskalev fled house arrest and is now on the run. Moskalev was prosecuted after school authorities found antiwar drawings by his 13-year-old daughter. A single father appears to be on the run after authorities accused him of condemning Russian war crimes on social media and placing his only daughter in an orphanage.Alexei Moskalev was sentenced Tuesday to two years in a penal colony for the alleged posts, which he has denied penning.He was prosecuted, according to the BBC, after school authorities last year reported his 13-year-old daughter to police after seeing that she had drawn a Ukrainian flag with the words, "Glory to Ukraine," and a Russian flag with the words, "No to war!" In the drawing, a mother and child can be seen holding hands and standing next to the Ukrainian flag as missiles approach them from the Russian side.That incident appears to have sparked prosecutors' interest in the father, who last year was fined for social media posts critical of Russia's war in Ukraine, which the Kremlin insists be referred to as a "special military operation." His apartment in Yefremov was then raided in December, leading to a criminal case over other alleged posts.Moskalev's daughter was taken from him earlier this month and placed in an orphanage, the Associated Press reported.
