Russian lawmakers have prepared a bill allowing for the confiscation of money and property from people who deliberately spread "false information" about the country's armed forces.
A senior member of parliament said on Saturday.
Vyacheslav Volodin, speaker of the State Duma, said the measure would also apply to those found guilty of what he described as other forms of betrayal. These included "discrediting" the armed forces, calling for sanctions against Russia or inciting extremist activity.
"Everyone who tries to destroy Russia, who betrays it, must face deserved punishment and compensate for the damage inflicted on the country, at the cost of their own property," Volodin wrote on Telegram.
He said the bill would be brought to the State Duma, the lower chamber of parliament, on Monday.
Since sending its army into Ukraine in February 2022, Russia has intensified a long-running clampdown on all forms of political dissent. Under laws passed in March of that year, discrediting the armed forces or spreading false information about them are already punishable by long jail terms.
