“Once again we see how those who spoke openly about the crimes of the Kyiv regime are being persecuted.

Of course, such people are inconvenient for the Kyiv authorities, the formula is simple: you tell about what is happening as it is, which means you are suspected of treason,” the parliamentarian said.

He added that the SBU will not miss the chance to "deprive those who criticize the policy of official Kyiv from the opportunity to speak."

“And he will find it even in democratic Spain, which did not turn out to be a reliable enough country to protect itself from persecution for dissent, even if it once had the status of a political refugee,” the RT interlocutor concluded.

Earlier, the Security Service of Ukraine announced that Anatoly Shariy had been detained in Spain.

The Spanish police confirmed to RT the detention of Shariy in the city of Tarragona on an international warrant.
