“I left the Russian Federation because I believe that there is a threat to my personal safety,” he told Gromadska.

He noted that the withdrawal of the summons for interrogation by the prosecutor's office does not mean that he cannot act again.

“Now we have to wait and understand how to proceed.

Although I will tell you a secret.

Despite the fact that I lived there for 13 years and worked as a correspondent for the UNIAN agency, I never intended to stay there, ”he said.

Tsimbaliuk added that he would monitor possible accusations from Russian law enforcement agencies, so that at some point he would not find himself “on the Interpol wanted list”.

Earlier, RT reported that Roman Tsymbalyuk was summoned to the Moscow prosecutor's office.

Later it became known that Tsymbalyuk's summons to the prosecutor's office had been withdrawn on the initiative of the department.

This was announced by the lawyer of the Ukrainian journalist Nikolai Polozov.
