Russian authorities have detained politician Yevgeny Roizman — known for his criticism of the Kremlin and, more recently, of the military campaign in Ukraine, Russia's TASS news agency reported on Wednesday.
Roizman, a former mayor of the city of Yekaterinburg, is being investigated for "discrediting the Russian army", TASS reported, citing Yekaterinburg security services.
He was one of a handful of Kremlin critics who won mayoral posts, following a series of big opposition demonstrations, as President Vladimir Putin campaigned for office in 2012.
Russia calls its actions in Ukraine a "special military operation", aimed at ensuring its own security, and authorities have so far prosecuted a number of activists for calling it a war, or criticising Russia's action.
Ukrainian forces have mounted a stiff resistance, and the West has imposed sweeping sanctions on Russia, in an effort to force it to withdraw its forces.
