“There is no political reason to keep Vyshinsky in prison. He is a political prisoner. If the Western media wrote about this case, then it would be possible to exert some influence on the Ukrainian authorities, and he would be released, ”she said.
However, Barlett added that the Western media ignore not only this situation, but also the facts of the death of many independent journalists, including in Syria, where they are killed by terrorists.
