Ukrainian Human Rights Commissioner Liudmyla Denisova and her Russian counterpart Tatyana Moskalkova have discussed the situation surrounding Ukrainian prisoners and detainees being held in Russia and Russian citizens being held in Ukraine at a meeting.
Moskalkova pledged to look into the information that Edem Bekirov is not provided with the necessary medical aid, he is not allowed to take a walk, and his insulin dose is only increased, but the glucose level in the blood remains dangerously high, Denisova wrote on Facebook.
“I asked Moskalkova to perform an urgent surgery on Pavlo Hryb […]. I noticed that Volodymyr Dudka needs medical aid and appropriate incarceration conditions. Moskalkova promised to check his incarceration conditions and his health condition again,” the Ukrainian ombudswoman said, adding that she again addressed the issue of injured naval sailors.
Moskalkova, in turn, told her that naval sailors Andriy Eider and Andriy Artemenko, who were injured in the Kerch Strait incident, are undergoing medical treatment after the medical examination, while Vasyl Soroka is undergoing a medical examination for the further surgery this week.
“We also discussed the issues of exchange. I asked Moskalkova so that she will notify the relevant bodies of the opportunity of the 25 for 25 exchange,” Denisova said.
Moskalkova, in turn, asked the Ukrainian ombudswoman that she wants to attend a court session to extend the arrest to RIA Novosti – Ukraine Editor-in-Chief Kiril Vyshinsky.
“I answered that Vyshinsky will be convoyed from the Kherson detention center to the Kyiv detention center on March 9. On March 20, the Cassation Criminal Court of the Ukrainian Supreme Court is due to hear Vyshinsky’s complaint to the unlawfulness of his detention,” she said.
Denisova added that she had confirmed to Moskalkova that relatives can visit Russian citizens Maxim Odintsov and Alexander Baranov.
