MOSCOW—The Kremlin said on Aug. 9 it had received a letter from the mother of jailed Ukrainian film-maker Oleg Sentsov asking Russian President Vladimir Putin to pardon her son.
The Crimea-born Sentsov, sentenced by a Russian court to 20 years in a high-security penal colony in 2015 for “terrorist attacks” on the peninsula, is on the 88th day of a hunger strike.
