Victoria adds that the trial began last June. Yaroslav Zhdamarov is tried as a military man under three articles, although he resigned from the service in 2019.
“The years of imprisonment vary from 20 years to lifetime imprisonment. This case, fabricated by the Russian Federation, is based on abstract accusations, none of which have any direct relation to the defendants. I’m doing everything to help and bring Yaroslav home. I don’t even know who I can rely on to solve this problem. No organization has access to the list of prisoners, their health condition, whereabouts, etc. I recently learned that a delegation of the OSCE representatives from different countries is being formed to analyze all the information about our prisoners. I believe that this will be a big step towards releasing Ukrainians from Russian captivity,” the girl says hopefully.
