Kyiv, Ukraine
The Armed Forces of Ukraine detained in Kupyansk (Kharkiv region of Ukraine) seven students of the local medical college from Sri Lanka and took them to an unknown destination, said the head of the military-civilian administration (CAA) of the region Vitaly Ganchev. According to him, the authorities learned about this from local residents.
“Considering the well-known methods of work of the Ukrainian special services, we do not exclude provocations against the military-civilian administration of the Kharkiv region and the Russian Federation”,— Ganchev noted. In his opinion, foreigners are very likely to be used “to fabricate regular fakes, testimonies by analogy with Bucha and Izyum.”
In order to draw the attention of the international community to the incident, the CAA will inform the Sri Lankan embassy in Russia about this, he added.
The Sri Lankan Foreign Ministry said that it demanded that the Ukrainian side confirm or deny the information about the kidnapping of students.
