The case of Oleksandr Ishchenko
Ishchenko is involved in the "case" along with 23 other Ukrainians, two of whom (David Kasatkyn and Dmytro Labynskyi) were later exchanged. The Russian Federation accuses them of alleged involvement in a "terrorist organization" and an "attempted violent seizure of power" in the occupied part of the Donetsk region.
