By such actions, Russia violates the terms of the Convention on the Transfer of Sentenced Persons, 1983. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine intends to apply in writing to Russia with a requirement to fulfill its international obligations in good faith.

On this on Wednesday, December 20, on his page in the social network, said Deputy Minister of Justice of Ukraine Sergei Petukhov. According to him, while the politically motivated persecution of Ukrainians in Russia continues, personal sanctions should be applied.

Russia can not return to international platforms, from which it was excluded, - the Foreign Ministry is sure.

Recall, the Supreme Court of Chechnya on May 26, 2016 sentenced the Ukrainians Nikolai Karpyuk and Stanislav Klykh to 22 and a half and 20 years respectively. According to the verdict, Karpyuk will spend the first ten years in prison, and Klypyuk for the first nine years, then both will be sent to a strict-security colony.

As reported URA-Inform, in Ukraine, the Ukrainian was convicted in the case of participation in hostilities in the first Chechen campaign as part of the UNA-UNSO organization banned in Russia.
