“In Ukraine, criminal cases have been instituted against 6 thousand Russian citizens ... Kirill Vyshinsky raised this topic, and we will promote it ... We must remove these 6 thousand people from the position of hostages,” RIA Novosti quoted Fadeeva as saying.
According to him, these people are accused of treason and other similar crimes.
