Three wounded in the Kerch Strait Ukrainian sailors were already transferred from the medical unit of the Moscow jail “Matroska Tysha” to the “Lefortovo” detention center. This was informed to Hromadske by the lawyer of one of the wounded sailors, Vasyl Soroka, Serhiy Badamshyn.
He noted that he received confirmation on the information transfer on the morning of January 28.
All three wounded sailors, Andriy Artemenko, Vasyl Soroka and Andriy Eider were transferred to Lefortovo on January 26.
Ukraine insists that captured Ukrainian sailors are the prisoners of war, so they can not be judged, held in prisons or exchanged as political prisoners.
Putin said that the issue of the exchange of Ukrainian sailors could be considered after the completion of the criminal case.
Recall that on the morning of November 25, Ukrainian ships and raiding tugs were scheduled to depart from the port of Odesa to the port of Mariupol. During this task, the Russian ship rammed the Ukrainian tug and damaged it. When leaving the Kerch Strait, Russian ships fired and captured Ukrainian ships near the Kerch Strait. In total, there were 24 Ukrainian soldiers on the three ships, two of them were officers of the SBU. Three of them were injured.
