Citizens of Ukraine who are convicted under articles related to terrorism and are considered political prisoners by the Ukrainian side, Russia can allegedly transfer to Ukraine in exchange for the resumption of water supplies to Crimea.
Such propaganda stuffing was made with a hint on the air of the UA: Crimea channel by a member of the Moscow Regional Bar Association Nikolai Polozov, who defended Nadezhda Savchenko and members of the Majlis in Russian courts, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“He (Putin) views these hostages, these political prisoners, as a valuable resource. Which can be exchanged for something more material than an equivalent human life.
In this exchange, in September, we see that he was actually interested in one person - Vyshinsky. They themselves later sent Tsemakh home, and he seemed to return to his place in Snezhnoye. The rest were just ballast, a load.
For the Kremlin, it is much more important to use hostages as tools to achieve political and economic goals.
And I do not exclude that in conditions when now, for example, in Crimea, the issue of water shortage has become very acute due to the fact that the canal was blocked, etc., at some point Putin may say: okay, I I’m ready to release these political prisoners, it doesn’t matter how many there are – 100, 115. But give me water. In trade for. Are people important to you, or what?” says the “lawyer”.
