In Ukraine, a case of violation of the laws and customs of war (part 2 of article 438 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine) was opened against Frolkin. In the Russian Federation, a case was opened against serviceman Daniil Frolkin for spreading deliberately false information about the Russian Armed Forces. After finding out about this criminal case, the journalists of Vazhnye Istorii attempted to contact Frolkin, but he did not respond to their messages and calls. On 16 March 2023, the court sentenced Frolkin to a five and a half years' suspended sentence.
