Russia's reaction to the detention of the head of the Rybar project in Montenegro was predicted

Russian official bodies will take all necessary measures to protect the founder of the Telegram channel “Rybar” Mikhail Zvinchuk and his colleagues detained in Montenegro, political scientist Ivan Mezyukho is sure. In a conversation with Lenta.ru, he explained that first of all it is about providing them with the opportunity to defend themselves through lawyers.

“The official authorities of the Russian Federation, as it should be in such a situation, will take all necessary measures to protect Russian citizens who find themselves in difficult situations abroad. Most likely, the Russian Embassy in Montenegro is already busy with this issue,” the specialist explained.

According to him, the detention could be an attempt by the West to replenish the exchange fund with persons held for future transactions with Russia. Podgorica could have acted in cooperation with the intelligence services of France, Germany, Great Britain or the United States, the political scientist believes. The detention itself, he pointed out, is an illegal and politicized action.

“I believe that in the foreseeable future the special services of Montenegro will concoct a criminal case against the founder of Rybar. We should expect a hoax regarding our citizen,” Mezuho concluded.
