Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the Kremlin has not yet considered the possibility of exchanging the Ukrainian director Oleg Sentsov, imprisoned in Russia, with Kirill Vyshinsky, the director of RIA Novosti Ukraina, who was sentenced in Kherson.

"While we do not think about that," he said in response to a question from viewers during the "straight line".

According to him, we are talking about completely different charges Sentsov and Vyshinsky.

"Vyshinsky was arrested for journalistic activities, this is absolutely unacceptable policy of Ukraine. And Mr. Sentsov was detained in the Crimea not for journalistic activities, but for preparing a terrorist attack, an explosion that could result in injuring people.

I think that common sense must triumph in Ukraine. We will achieve the release of the journalist, "Putin said..

As previously reported, director Oleg Sentsov has already been on hunger strike in the Russian colony for 27 days.

Despite the supporting therapy, to which he agreed, his teeth began to fall out.

May 17, the director of "RIA Novosti Ukraina" Kirill Vyshinsky was arrested for two months without the right to pledge.
