At a press conference when Ukrainian political prisoner Oleg Sentsov announced the hunger strike, the spokesperson of Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, Mariana Betsa said that the ministry is considering to exchange Sentsov for the head of RIA News-Ukraine Kyrylo Vyshynsky arrested on suspicion of treason.
“All is possible. I cannot disclose all the details, because if we announced things in advance, believe me, both Akhtem Chiygoz and Ilmi Umerov would probably not have been released yet. I can say only that the negotiation process goes on,” Betsa said.
