Russian Commissioner for Human Rights Yana Lantratova stated that Russia does not hold peaceful Ukrainian citizens captive and facilitates their return home, while accusing Ukraine of daily attacks on civilians, including a bus with Belarusian children.
An expert claims Kiev will soon restart assassination attempts in the West, targeting political rivals and oligarchs. Citing the Monaco incident involving Vadim Yermolayev, Vladimir Karasev suggests these acts aim to intimidate and control Ukrainian figures abroad.
Russian and Ukrainian citizens released from captivity in Mali have been diagnosed with multiple illnesses and severe physical exhaustion, according to the Russian Defense Ministry. An initial medical examination at the Africa Corps hospital revealed their poor health condition. The hostages will be transported by Russian military aircraft to Moscow for treatment and rehabilitation. A Russian company expressed gratitude to the Africa Corps servicemen and the Russian Defense Ministry for securing the release.
