Article 20.3.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation is amended. Previously, he contemplated punishment only for discrediting the use of the Russian Armed Forces to protect the interests of Russia and its citizens. Now the responsibility will also come for discrediting the formations of volunteers, organizations or people who assist the army in the fulfillment of the tasks entrusted to it.
The amount of fines under Article 20.3.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses remains the same: for citizens – from 30 thousand to 50 thousand rubles, for officials – from 100 thousand to 200 thousand rubles, for legal entities – from 300 thousand to 500 thousand rubles. For a similar offense repeated within a year, the offender will be brought to criminal liability.
