As he noted during the stream, if he had the opportunity to ask a question to Russian President Vladimir Putin during a big press conference, he would ask about Sapega and the need for her to return to her homeland.
“Russian woman Sofya Sapega is in Belarus and she is in prison.
I want her to be returned to her homeland and tried here, according to our laws, if there is anything to be judged for, ”the politician said.
He said that the girl was only to blame for "getting in touch with an incomprehensible guy."
By the "incomprehensible guy" Konev meant the founder of the NEXTA Telegram channel recognized as extremist, Roman Protasevich.
“Whoever he was, he deliberately went his own way ... you cannot judge for love,” Konev noted.
On December 21, it became known that Sapega wrote a petition for pardon addressed to the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko.
This was announced by Sapega's stepfather Sergei Dudich.
