Unlike Ukrainian diplomats who are fighting in all possible ways for Ukrainian political prisoners in Russia, the Russian consul has never visited the Russian military officer Victor Ageev, who was detained in the Donbas..

This was reported on the Facebook page by the representative of Ukraine at the Minsk negotiations on the settlement in the Donbass, the first vice-speaker of the Verkhovna Rada, Irina Gerashchenko.

"I read the revelations" of the loss, which came to the Donbas to kill, "to protect the Donetsk and Lugansk peoples from Ukraine" ... The only important passage in these revelations for me personally is the fact that Russian consuls have never been "lost". Never! "She stressed..

Politician reminded that Ukrainian consuls are fighting for visiting political prisoners in Russian prisons.

"Our consuls were physically beaten in Chechnya, when they broke through to the court for Karpuk and Klich, they are not allowed to Sentsov and Kolchenko, who are being forced to Russian citizenship, our consul was looking for Roman Sushchenko in Lefortovo and made his way to Yevgeny Panov when he was shortly there, Between Simferopol tortures, "she noted..

"These are two worlds, and thank God that Ukraine is not Russia, that Ukraine does not abandon its own, does not forget, recognizes, fights, respects. And for the Russian Federation, it's all just "nastetnet," but no - that's what we're talking about, "added the vice-speaker.

Gerashchenko said that she herself had repeatedly met with Russian citizens in prisons, who had not been visited by the consul for months, despite informing and requesting to visit.

"Because to visit is to admit. Russia does not need their citizens, and even more so the inhabitants of the Crimea and Donbass. They only need territories, "she said..

As reported, Ageyev, drafted in the Altai Territory and served under a contract in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, was captured June 24 near the village Zhelobok, Lugansk region.

On 22 July, Ageeva's mother met her son in Starobelsk, Lugansk region. Later, she suggested that Russia and Ukraine "be friends, not fight". In response, Svetlana Ageeva was invited to the Dnieper to visit the cemetery of the ATU fighters and the military hospital.
