“We all need to consolidate efforts to first of all try to ease his fate, not to delay the situation, to try to make an incident, let's call it that, Kirill Vyshinsky ended before September 19,” said Shafir.
In addition, he called the trial over the head of RIA Novosti Ukraine on July 19 a “court of justice”, noting that many shared the opinion that absurd accusations against the journalist would be dropped on the day of the next meeting.
Earlier, the Kyiv Podolsk court extended the arrest to Vyshinsky until September 19. Representatives of the defense of the journalist subsequently announced their intention to appeal the decision of the court.
