Political commentator Vladimir Kornilov stated this on the air of the “Evening with Vladimir Solovyov” program. cited FAN.
“Will you notice how Ukraine constantly calls the exchange of prisoners of war? She calls it a "hostage exchange." In Ukraine, hundreds of people are being seized throughout the country, primarily their own citizens, making them hostages, and openly admitting that Ukraine is a terrorist state! After all, according to all international standards, the presence of hostages as such is a war crime,” Kornilov recalled.
He also drew attention to the fact of deception on the part of Kyiv during the exchange, at the last moment removing Russian citizens from the buses, including Yevgeny Mefedov, who had never been in a military conflict zone.
“He lived in Odessa, he was pulled out of the burning House of Trade Unions on May 2, 2014. He is now a prisoner of war, a man who has already been acquitted by a Ukrainian court, who has already been released, and whom, according to all laws, they have no right to detain,” the expert emphasized.
According to him, Russian citizens “are essentially in concentration camps.”
“They are called filtration camps, this is near Svetlogorsk. In Ukraine, a “democratic European” state, people are held as hostages, without trial or investigation, acquitted in court. In order for Poroshenko to promote himself at the right moment by exchanging these hostages for actual prisoners of war. This is what Ukraine is today – a terrorist state,” Kornilov concluded.
