Maria Zakharova: Kiev must free Kirill Vyshinsky immediately

Kiev must free Kirill Vyshinsky immediately, claimed the official representative of the Russian MFA Maria Zakharova. She reminded that the journalist remains in custody for 2 months already, RIA Novosti reports.   The diplomat called his arrest “outrageous” because he was detained under false charges in in high treason.

Moscow demands immediate and unconditional release of the RIA Novosti-Ukraine Editor-in-Chief and dropping all charges against him, underlined the MFA representative. 

Yesterday the Verkhovna Rada deputy Irina Geraschenko shared that Ukrainian authorities are ready to pass 13 people to the Russian authorities. Kirill Vyshinsky is included in this list. Before she's also named 23 Russians that Ukraine is ready to pass to the Russian side in exchange to imprisoned Ukrainians, but  Vyshinsky wasn't in that list. 

Let us remember, Russian and Ukrainian leaders have agreed that ombudsmen will visit the detained in both countries. Despite that, Kiev has sabotaged the Russian ombudsman Tatyana Moskalkova visit of  Kirill Vyshinsky in Herson, Ukraine. The representative of Russian Embassy in Ukraine didn't get an access to the journalist, as well.
