The court in Moscow sentenced the erstwhile Ukrainian ambassador to Kazakhstan, Piotr Wróblewski, to six years in prison in absentia for urging the mass killing of Russians.
Wróblewski was found guilty of committing "actions to incite hatred and hostility" against a group of people "based on nationality... with a threat of violence", according to the press office of the territory Court of Basmanny.The allegations came from an interview of August 2022 in which Wróblewski stated that Ukraine was trying to "Kill as many Russians as possible."“The more Russians we kill now, the little they will gotta do our children” said the diplomat to a local blogger in Kazakhstan six months after the escalation of the conflict in Ukraine.His remarks angered both the Russian community in this Central Asian country and Russia.

A spokesperson for the Russian MFA Maria Zacharowa then wrote on the Telegram that "only the ambassador of the terrorist government can say specified things."Kazakh officials condemned his words as incitement to cultural hatred and inappropriate to a diplomat.

In September 2022. Astana stated that Wróblewski apologized for his remarks and then went on vacation.Last year the Russian authorities issued a warrant for the arrest of Wróblewski, placing him on national and global wanted lists, as well as adding him to the national registry of terrorists and extremists.The ruling of Monday effectively upholds a akin decision issued by the Moscow court last August, which was subsequently repealed by the higher court due to irregularities.

The case was then re-examined.Wróblewski was released from his post in Kazakhstan in October 2022.

His whereabouts are presently unknown as he hasn't made public since his release.
