The musician posted a picture of a destroyed building and wrote about a missile attack on a drama theater in Chernigov, which killed people, including children: "Chernigov today. A Russian missile hit the drama theater. People died, innocent children died. Those who gave this order and those who carried it out, will burn in hell! And those who are silent and do not condemn what is happening, who believe that it is none of their business and does not concern them and that they can live their lives against the background of what is happening, should remember: there is God's judgment, there is a conscience that will not let you sleep in peace. Russia, what you have become, I hate you and wish for your speedy destruction. For the world of the living today and for the benefit of future generations," Mediazona quote. The prosecution considered this information to be deliberately false and discrediting the Russian army. In his last word Panin asked not to be sent to the colony. According to him, the real sentence will be a severe blow to his loved ones, including his young daughter and elderly mother. "There are no victims or damages in my case, and my life and my views have changed dramatically. Don't give me a real sentence, because among other things it would be a death sentence for my nearest and dearest, who are very dependent on me: my little daughter and especially my elderly mother, who might just not live to see my return to freedom. The last music, is definitely not the last of music. circumcision. According to Panin, "No matter what was said in the post, it was done out of love for the homeland."
