In the summer of 2024, Liudmila was found guilty of spreading 'fake information' and making calls for terrorism and was sentenced to 8 years in prison. In December 2024, she was added to the 'list of extremists and terrorists.' The Military Panel of the Supreme Court upheld the verdict without changes.

The final statement

‘I do repent, of course. Every day for a year and a half.’

I have fully admitted my guilt. I think about it every day! I feel terrible. I am ashamed before you, respected judges! It’s a disgrace, a shame… I feel sorry for my children and my grandchildren, because they have such a grandmother. How can it be, to end up like this at such an age?! It’s very shameful, very disgraceful, I admit it. But, how can I put it… I admit it, but please, if there is any possibility to reduce my sentence a little—my grandchildren are growing up, I would like to be with them…

I deeply regret what I did, very deeply! Every day I think about it! I feel very bad about it, of course… Where did I stick my head? I did all this foolishly, without understanding anything! Why, for what?.. I do repent, of course. Of course I repent! More than anything I repent! I repent every day for a year and a half. That’s what I can tell you. Please forgive me!
