Charges have been brought against Mikhail Khodorkovsky. The Anti-War Committee of Russia, among others, includes opposition figure Mikhail Kasyanov, former Deputy Finance Minister Sergei Aleksashenko, former State Duma Deputy Dmitry Gudkov, and others.

In conclusion, representatives of the FSB's Public Relations Center assured that investigative measures are currently underway against Khodorkovsky and his accomplices. All persons involved in their activities will be held accountable in accordance with Russian law.
