Ruslan Gadziev not on board?

Tsemakh said to be on board? +Igor Komanovskii photo (arrived).

List of 34 released by Ukraine. Includes Tsemakh. Includes Mefedov. Supposed to include Gadzhiev, but he was not released according to his attorney. (Why?)

Zelenskiy meets Ukrainian detainees (those released by Russia) at the airport and makes some comments to the press -video, Ukr. and some English. Most of the comments are reflected in the written account on the presidential web site (Rus, Eng).

Gadzhiev
According to his attorney, Russian citizen Ruslan Jupalovich Gadzhiev was held prisoner by Ukraine from 23 January 2015, and since that name remains in SIZO in Artemovsk, Ukraine. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison, for his membership of DPR military forces. In early August, 2019 his sentence was lifted by an appeals court, and his case was forwarded to court for reconsideration. In late August, the motion with exchange started. As a result, Gadzhiev pleaded guilty for the second time so that the matter could be resolved by a pardon by Ukrainian president. Before the exchange, around September 6, all other cases were resolved one way or another, but the decree with Gadzhiev pardon was not issued by Zelenskii, and Gadziev remained in Artemovsk. It appears that he is not on the plane with released by Ukraine detainees. Official explanations are not known at this time. --Resup (talk) 14:08, 7 September 2019 (UTC)

Other people not released by Ukraine
By Sergey Shargunov, communicated on social media by Denis Ataman-Baklanov, September 8, 2019:

For example, people from Odessa alone, who survived on May 2 at Kulikovo Field. They were later declared saboteurs-underground.

Father and son Ruslan and Vladislav Dolgoshei, Nikolai Selyatenko, Oleg Mazur, Nikolai Kazansky have been in prison for more than 4 years. (The latter is generally a quiet intellectual, he simply went to rallies of Anti-Maidan - by the way, the brother of actress Nonna Grishaeva, who is forbidden to enter Ukraine). Their other associates have already been sentenced to long sentences. So Konstantin Kalashnikov received 13 years.

Another group. Ekaterina Fotieva, Alexander Shevtsov, Igor Udovenko, Evgeny Podmazko.

Lawyers told me that no one even tries to change these people. Everything must be done to fix this

Denis Ataman-Baklanov, September 7, 2019: Telegram channel - Inside Donetsk:

"While there is an exchange between Russia and Ukraine, the DPR specified how many citizens are in Ukrainian captivity

According to operational data, the Ukrainian side holds 255 people. Of these, the location of 152 is generally unknown. That is, Kiev still cannot say exactly what prisons or isolation wards these people are in. "

(Robo-translated).

Dots above the i.

As Attorney General, I have organized legal training on two recent exchanges. 74 of ours to 306 in December 2017 and 35 of ours to 35 yesterday.

I'm not writing this for PR - they say, and I did something. No. Just under President Poroshenko and under the new President Zelensky, I cannot tolerate betrayers, who are also happy, but ...

The exchange of our prisoners and prisoners of the Kremlin is always not only a tension of the prosecutorial and judicial systems, when in the shortest possible time it was possible to obtain a guilty plea and a sentence to terrorists or to change a preventive measure. Sometimes it was necessary to deliver judges on vacation airplanes. It is also the maximum moral tension. How to betray Gadzhiyev, who killed 7 of ours and 8 of our wounds?
 * Noted, it is said that a number of Ukrainian, as well as DPR soldiers were killed in a tank battle in which Gadzhiev is said to participate. This allegation may be placing the blame in a battle solely on him. It is said that he was wounded and taken prisoner. --Resup (talk) 14:21, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

Or Prasolova, who blasted an SBU officer.
 * It is doubtful she is capable of performing such an act. The accusation may stem from some minor alleged role, like passing information or something like that --Resup (talk)14:21, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

Or how to extradite a suspect in organizing the shootdown of MH17 Tsemah to the Netherlands ?
 * It appears that he has nothing to do with it ---Resup (talk) 14:21, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

The answer is obvious to me - it's war. And the exchange of our fighters for the soldiers of the aggressor or the separatists controlled by them is not a shame or a betrayal. The liberation of ours is a sacred duty of the State. Knowledge of this strengthens the spirit of the Army. So it paves the way to Victory, as well as delivery to the front of new equipment and increased payments.

In the case of Tsemah, things are more complicated. I have had several conversations with him and with my Dutch colleagues on the international investigation team and with the President and his team. To all who whisper or shout about betrayal, I would like to say that the Ukrainian side has postponed the exchange and did (after my resignation) everything possible in the current situation. Tsemah's questioning took place. He refused to strike a deal with the investigation (Від угоди зі слідством він відмовився -Ukr). We do not have the right to extradite him to the Netherlands because of the provisions of the Constitution. The Dutch will be able to put him on trial in the same way as the first 4 suspects will be tried in absentia since March 2020.

Of course, Putin and his backers (і його підспівувачі -lit. and his 'backline singers') in Europe will play this card of образи (Ukr; possible translations are injustice, affront, insult) of Dutch society (created by himself). Their goal is to lift EU sanctions against Russia that were imposed just after the M1H7 was hit. Opposition to this is the task of senior government and the Foreign Ministry.

But this could not at all stop the liberation of Ukrainians, some of whom had bravely opposed the Kremlin for years. I am happy for everyone who is at home yesterday with their relatives.

PS. I believe everyone should return home. There is an exchange fund. '''In my cadence, law enforcement and courts have provided 1,200 sentences for terrorism. Another 1100 are under investigation.
