Ukrainian political prisoner Volodymyr Balukh, which has been recently released from a Russian prison, was issued a Russian passport without his consent.
“We were not talking about any Russian passport as no one would write any statement. There was written on that decision [on the issuance of a Russian passport] that I got acquainted with it but consider it to be torture, just psychological torture,” Balukh said at a press conference, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.
