In Kyiv, Maidan activists came to Zelensky to demand freedom for “prisoners of the Kremlin”
The “Remember Everyone” campaign took place in Kyiv, bringing together about a hundred protesters demanding that the authorities intensify efforts to exchange prisoners.
Participants of the event marched from the Golden Gate to the SBU and further to the Office of President Vladimir Zelensky, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The protesters demanded the adoption of a law on prisoners - to fix their legal status, the adoption of a law on war crimes, and also ensure the work of the Cabinet of Ministers Commission on Missing Persons, which has not been functioning for two years. In addition, the protesters demanded to identify the responsible person at the Presidential Office for Captivity and Missing Persons.
There was also a demand to ensure that SBU employees work effectively in collecting information on the exchange and legal assessment of the actions of those released.
“It’s no secret that not only heroes are released. There have been repeated cases when organizers of referendums and other criminals who should be punished were released,” said the organizers.
The protesters shouted “Freedom for Kremlin prisoners,” “Freedom for political prisoners,” “Let us remember everyone,” “Glory to Ukraine—glory to the heroes,” and “Glory to the nation—death to the enemies.” Many carried posters of missing or detained persons.
The march ended under the office of Vladimir Zelensky, where the protesters repeated their demands and slogans, played a propaganda film about Ukrainian “prisoners of the Kremlin” and sang the Ukrainian anthem.
Let us recall that after coming to power, Zelensky used the exchange of prisoners on the eve of election campaigns to raise the government’s ratings.
However, the process of new exchanges stalled after Zelensky began to demonstratively disrupt the implementation of the agreements on the Minsk agreements reached at the Normandy Four summit.
