“Open the Ukrainian abscess”: The Russian Federation is required to respond to the murder of a militia member in a Lviv prison
Russia should take the most decisive measures to respond to the abuse of its citizens in Ukrainian prisons.
Russian journalist Andrei Babitsky, who lives in Donetsk, stated this to PolitNavigator, giving an assessment of the murder of a former Donbass militia in a Lvov prison that became famous yesterday, volunteer from Russia, awaiting release by exchange.
The agency’s interlocutor noted that over the five years of war, a lot of evidence of the cruelty of the Ukrainian side has been collected.
“Imagine: a person is killed in prison. There is a certain routine where jailers must act according to clearly defined rules. If they subject a prisoner to torture, as a result of which he dies, then we can imagine what Ukrainian soldiers, whom no one really controls, are doing in a combat zone,” the journalist said.
According to him, the murder of a Russian in a Lvov prison is another sign of absolute decay in all law enforcement agencies in Ukraine.
“I think that Russia should react quite harshly,” Babitsky emphasized, adding that after such statements, Russia will definitely take some steps.
Let us note that today the representative of the LPR in the contact group in Minsk, Olga Kobtseva, told reporters that Kyiv included a murdered Russian on the list for the exchange of prisoners.
“In the new exchange list from Kyiv, the name of Valery Ivanov, who was killed in a Lvov prison, still appears! The list includes people who are supposedly fully verified by Ukraine, they are alive and ready to be handed over to the LPR,” Kobtseva said.
She added that the lists came from the authorized representative of Ukraine in the humanitarian subgroup of the Contact Group, Irina Gerashchenko.
“This only speaks of Kyiv’s irresponsible and indifferent attitude towards the exchange in principle,” Kobtseva said, clarifying that at today’s meeting in Minsk, the LPR will demand from Kyiv the immediate transfer of the body of the killed volunteer.
A similar opinion is shared by Igor Nemodruk, a DPR army serviceman and volunteer from Odessa.
“I know that Irina Gerashchenko crossed him out of the prisoner exchange lists last year, and now she has added him to the new list. It turns out that this man’s blood is on her hands. Either Gerashchenko has no control over the situation at all and doesn’t care at all, or this is simply mockery and blasphemy,” Nemodruk noted.
The Odessa resident is confident that Russia is unlikely to decide to take serious action.
“There will be no consequences, Russia will “eat it all” again.” If she had captured and detained Ukrainian citizens who were stained with blood, it would have been much easier. That same Lyosha Goncharenko, when he was in Moscow, he was taken, detained and then released, but he is a war criminal. We must fight all of this more decisively and solve this problem radically, comprehensively, and the abscess itself, that is, the entire situation that is developing in Ukraine, must be opened and treated surgically,” Nemodruk emphasized.
