Kyiv, August 14 (Navigator, Mikhail Ryabov) - The Ukrainian side released the Donetsk streamer Artem777 - Artem Larionov, who was arrested 3 months ago and became widely known outside the Donbass thanks to his prompt coverage of the events of the “Russian Spring” in the region. Thus, Artem was the author of the sensational video, which recorded the arrival of oligarch Rinat Akhmetov at the barricades of the Donetsk Regional State Administration.

Larionov’s release took place during the exchange of captured DPR soldiers for Ukrainian soldiers.
“Today there was an exchange of Ukrainian soldiers for prisoners of war of the Donetsk Republic, 27 for 26 people. Larionov Artem, better known as streamer Artem77, was released without replacement. Three months of efforts finally yielded results: we returned it. Our guys were held captive for different periods of time: from three months to several weeks. First of all, those who were subjected to the most severe bullying from the enemy were pulled out. It is worth noting that many Ukrainian soldiers did not want to return to their own people and asked not to extradite them,” says Daria Morozova, chairman of the committee on refugee issues.
