Mark Feygin, the lawyer of UKRINFORM journalist Roman Sushchenko, received an official letter from the ministry’s Main Intelligence Directorate that his client is not an employee of Ukrainian intelligence.

Mark Feigin told about it in comments to Hromadske Radio.

"I have a letter from the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Defense Ministry of Ukraine that Roman Sushchenko is not in the service there and he is not a professional intelligence officer. We are working with the Foreign Ministry on this document and will pass it to the investigation because it has great importance for procedural court and for preliminary investigation. Roman has repeatedly sent requests on permission to see his wife - Angela Sushchenko - and made it possible to talk on the phone with his son," - Feygin told.
