Details
As the publication writes, the lawyer of Serhiy Kuznetsov, a former Ukrainian special forces officer arrested in Italy on suspicion of sabotaging Nord Stream in 2022, released his letter.
Kuznetsov has been on a hunger strike for the 10th day, because, according to him, he is being treated like "criminal number one."
He is held in a high-security prison, in isolation and with limited opportunities for physical exercise. He is denied a vegetarian diet. He believes that all this is being done to force him to confess, but nothing will come of it
