19-year-old Pavlo Gryb went to Belarus to meet his friend Tatiana from Russia, whom he knew from social networks. After meeting her, he was abducted by unknown men dressed in civilian clothes, who turned out to be Russian secret service employees, according to Novaya gazeta.
The young people discussed the Euromaidan, the Donbas conflict, and other events in Ukraine over social networks, which brought attention of the Russian Security Service (the FSB). Tatiana was planning to move to Ukraine. The FSB brought her in for questioning, where they, as she understood, made her a deal: she would meet Pavlo on their rules, and they would help her with the documents to move to Ukraine.
