Скачать или смотреть “Zelenskyy Naive in Confidence to Reach Peace With Russia” – Ex-Political Prisoner Mykola Karpiuk

Mykola Karpiuk is the first political prisoner in the recent history of Ukraine. He was detained by the FSB officers at the Ukrainian-Russian border when he was traveling to Russia to negotiate – as he himself says – with the Kremlin when Ukraine was on the verge of war. 

This happened six years ago, on March 17, 2014, after the Euromaidan protesters won, and the day before the "referendum" was held in Crimea, with which Russia’s illegal annexation of the peninsula had started.

Karpiuk was the deputy head of the popular Right Sector organization at the time. In Russia, he was sentenced to a record 22.5 years in prison on a completely fabricated charge of involvement in the first Chechen war on the side of troops of the Chechen leader Dzhokhar Dudayev. Karpiuk himself had never been to Russia before 2014. He spent five and a half years in Russian prisons.

Hromadske asked Karpiuk why he went to Russia, whether anyone betrayed him, how the Right Sector broke apart, and if it is possible to negotiate peace with Russia.
