SBU detained Odessa journalist Yuri Tkachev
In Odessa, the SBU detained the famous journalist Yuri Tkachev in his own house, planting a TNT block and a grenade.
Oksana Chelysheva, who turned out to be the last person with whom the journalist managed to communicate before his arrest, reported this on her Facebook page, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“His last message was sent at 7.34. “They came for me, it was nice to talk.” I corresponded with Yuri for the last time on the evening of the 17th. He turned to me for advice. He understood that they could “come for him,” Chelysheva said.
In addition, the SBU began to provoke people who were not indifferent to the fate of the journalist.
“All statements that Yuri Tkachev opened a new channel on Telegram after his supposed release from the SBU are lies,” the woman wrote a few hours later.
She said that she contacted Tkachev’s wife, who said that Yuri was being interrogated by the SBU, and she did not have the opportunity to log into her husband’s accounts, because all the computers were in the hands of the Ukrainian special services. In addition, a lawyer is not allowed to see the detainee.
“When Yuri opened the apartment door, he did not offer any resistance. Despite this, the SBU dragged him to the site, putting him face down. They also asked Oksana to leave the apartment. No violence was used against her. Oksana claims that through the open front door she saw one of the SBU officers enter the bathroom and stay there for several minutes. It was in the bathroom that in a few minutes the SBU would “discover” a “grenade and a TNT block,” Oksana said.
After this man left the bathroom, the SBU took Yuri and Oksana back into the apartment, where the search began. At the same time, they forced Yuri to undress,” said Chelysheva.
At the same time, the journalist was allowed to get dressed only before being taken away.
“Oksana said that they ask for maximum attention to the situation with Yuri. Please don’t write anything on Yuri Tkachev’s channels,” a friend of the journalist urged.
Let us note that Tkachev, in his telegram channel, covered the course of the current military operations in Ukraine neutrally, only recording certain facts.
