Tsemakh left undiscovered
The extradition of the former air defense chief of the First Slavic Brigade of the DPR, Vladimir Tsemakh, as part of the exchange will not affect the investigation into the case of the crash of a Malaysian Boeing in the skies of Donbass.
The head of the public organization “Ukrainian Legal Advisory Group” Nadezhda Volkova told the Kyiv magazine “Focus” about this.
She doubts that Tsemakh could become one of the most important witnesses in the Boeing case in court.
“The statements of representatives of the investigative authorities of both Ukraine and the Netherlands indicate that no one fully understood: is Tsemakh a witness or an accused? And in general, what could he tell in The Hague in addition to what is already known?” says the expert.
She is also perplexed: if Tsemakh was the accused and managed to testify to an international investigative group while in a Ukrainian pre-trial detention center, then what reason did the Kremlin have to insist on his extradition as part of the exchange?
“Most likely, he left undiscovered,” Volkova comes to the conclusion.
As PolitNavigator reported, former SBU press secretary Stanislav Rechinsky believes that Kyiv deliberately went for the release of Tsemakh in order to avoid trouble at the international tribunal.
