“I’m very disappointed with this decision, but I don’t give up hope that the logic of history will replace the unkind political vector in relations between the two fraternal peoples,” RIA Novosti reports the ombudsman’s press service.

She noted that "a clear symbol of this would be the release of a journalist who suffers only for doing his job professionally."

On July 3, the Podolsky court of Kiev announced a break in the case of Cyril Vyshinsky until July 15 due to the “unreadiness of prosecutors”.

The journalist himself called the events a farce and "slap in the face of Ukrainian justice."
