"We're trying to find out all the facts of the detention of the Ukrainian journalist in Russia. Our consul must have access at the request of the Convention between Ukraine and Russia. We need to find out all the fascts of the detention. Today Pavlo Klimkin will be in the Council of Europe on the Day of Ukrainian Reforms and he will also touch on this issue there. It is a common practice in Russia when we are not informed about the detention of our citizens. We are in contact with the journalist's family and check the information," the spokesperson said.
