Let us recall, as PolitNavigator previously reported, Italian police detained Ukrainian militant Vitaly Markiv on June 30. We are talking about a case three years ago. Markiv was suspected of murdering Italian photojournalist Andrea Rocchelli and Russian journalist Andrei Mironov in Donbass in May 2014. Now the consul is not allowed to see him because of his Italian citizenship.
