Putin recalled that the United States does not pay attention to Yaroshenko's health problems

Answering a journalist's question about which of the Russians convicted in the United States Moscow would like to return home, Putin noted that there is “a whole list” of such people.

“So I just said, the pilot we have there, Yaroshenko, who was taken from a third country to the United States, was given a rather long term there.

He has big health problems, but somehow the administration of places of deprivation of liberty does not pay attention to it.

You have paid attention

to the coronavirus of your citizen (Trevor Reed. -

), but the illness of our citizen - no one remembers it, ”said the President of Russia.

His words are quoted by the press service of the Kremlin.

In 2020, the Russian Embassy in Washington sent a note to the US State Department demanding medical assistance to Yaroshenko.

According to the diplomatic mission, the administration of the prison in the city of Danbury, without explaining the reasons, refuses Yaroshenko to receive dental treatment and the necessary medicines, and also ignores the prisoner's complaints and letters from the embassy.
