Herashchenko: details of blogger Vasin’s capture are being established

Iryna Herashchenko, Ukrainian representative in the Minsk process’ humanitarian subgroup, said that the details of capture of the blogger Stanislav Vasin by the militants in Donetsk are now being established. She said that in her interview to the newspaper Fakty, Liga reports.

“For now, we try to learn all details. What is the scariest thing in what is happening? When in Minsk you focus attention on some particular person, the other party, seeing your interest and your desire to help this person, blocks it all at once. I sometimes fear to speak about specific people not to harm”, Herashchenko said.

The Security Service of Ukraine for now gives no comment to Liga.net concerning the information about capture of Vasin and possible inclusion of the blogger into the exchange list.

According to Herashchenko, the number of Ukrainian hostages increased to 129, recently they are mostly captured pro-Ukrainian civilians. She emphasized that the Red Cross or OSCE representatives are not allowed to see these people.
