This was reported by a correspondent of Radio Liberty from the scene. He will remain in custody until July 21.
The meeting was held behind closed doors. The court also decided to conduct a medical examination of Chervinsky. Oleksandr Turchinov, Semyon Krivonos and Stepan Khmara, who tried to get into the courtroom before the decision was announced, came to support him.
The court granted the petition for interrogation of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Zaluzhny in the case of Chervinsky, the statement of Chervinsky’s lawyer Viktor Vasilyuk.
Now we are trying to get through to headquarters. For Zaluzny to arrive at the court session and testify. We had talked to him before, and he promised to give truthful testimony in this case,” Viktor Vasilyuk said.
While Roman Chervinsky is in jail. He faces 8 to 12 years behind bars. The ex-intelligence officer is suspected of exceeding official authority, according to investigators, he arbitrarily decided to take possession of the aircraft of the Russian forces, and the failure of the operation led to the shelling of the Kanatovo airfield.
Numerous RFE/RL sources in intelligence circles say Chervinsky could not have organized the operation on his own.
According to the investigation, Chervinsky was one of a group of people who decided to take possession of the Russian plane. The Russian pilot seemed to agree to the proposal to go over to the side of Ukraine.
As a result, the Russian military received information about the deployment of personnel of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and Ukrainian aircraft at the Kanatovo airfield. This allowed the Russian armed forces to bombard the airfield.
At one time, Chervinsky was attached to the operation, during which the SBU and the Main Intelligence Directorate lured 33 mercenaries of the Wagner group to Minsk in the summer of 2020. Chervinsky then admitted that the failure of the deal was due to a leak from the President’s Office. He calls the current case the OP’s revenge.
