KIEV: Ukraine on Wednesday released a Russian state media journalist pending his trial for"high treason", as the two countries discuss potential prisoner swaps.
The SBU accused Vyshynsky of travelling to Crimea in 2014 to carry out"subversive" reporting to justify the peninsula's annexation by Russia. Some 13,000 people have been killed in the conflict with Russia-backed separatists since Moscow annexed Crimea in 2014, a move the international community refuses to recognise.
Sentsov, Ukraine's most famous political prisoner, is serving a 20-year sentence in a Russian penal colony for planning"terrorist attacks" in Crimea.Among other individuals that could be involved in an exchange are 24 Ukrainian sailors captured last year.
