She said that "the Russian embassy in Minsk is closely following the fate of Sophia Sapieha and provides her with all possible support."
“This is done in close cooperation with her relatives, with lawyers,” Zakharova said.
The representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that "the Russian consul visited Sophia Sapega in the KGB pre-trial detention center of Belarus while she was in custody."
“Since June 23, the measure of restraint has been changed to house arrest.
In the near future, the next consular visit to the Russian woman is planned at the place of her new stay.
This issue is also on the agenda of Russian-Belarusian contacts, ”she added.
Earlier it was reported that Sapega was placed under house arrest.
Sapieha's stepfather, Sergei Dudich, told RT that he was able to meet with her in Minsk and talk "without the vigilant supervision of law enforcement agencies, in an informal setting."
