Details
"I'll probably start with the positive news. As far as I know, we checked with the investigators directly, and they said that he (Shufrych - ed.) is actually alive and will be fine. Perhaps, we assess this as a reaction to stress. Because this week a case of high treason against the current MP and his assistant was sent to court. They are accused of financing actions committed with the aim of forcibly changing and overthrowing the constitutional order, seizing state power and changing the boundaries of the territories of the state border of Ukraine. In addition, the MP is also accused of treason. Actually, maybe his health is really failing a little bit, but I know that these were preparatory hearings, because the trial is already starting. And the suspect has already become a defendant directly. Everything is fine. [...
