The defense filed an appeal against the extension of the arrest to the head of the RIA Novosti-Ukraine portal, Kirill Vyshinsky, against whom the Ukrainian authorities have fabricated a number of criminal cases, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
This was announced by Vyshinsky’s lawyer Andrei Domansky.
“The complaint was filed today with the Court of Appeal of the Kherson region,” Domansky said.
According to him, if the court quickly resolves all procedural and technical issues, the hearing could take place at the end of the week.
