Russia’s permanent mission to the Council of Europe welcomed the release of journalist Kirill Vyshinsky in Ukraine and urged the country’s authorities to clear him of all charges, TASS reports.
"We welcome the decision of the Kiev court to release from custody editor-in-chief of "RIA Novosti Ukraine" Kirill Vyshinsky," reads a brief message, posted on the official Facebook page of the Permanent Representation of the Russian Federation to the Council of Europe on Wednesday.
"At the same time, we must remember that the contrived politicized accusations against Kirill Vyshinsky remain in place. We urge the Ukrainian authorities to lift all unfounded accusations against this Ukrainian journalist," the post says.
