He came to look for a mother in the occupied territory: Kharkiv resident in the Russian Federation was sentenced to 11 years behind bars

During the occupation in the village of Tavilzhanka, the connection disappeared, so the son could not contact his mother. He decided to go in search of her. In Russia, the St. Petersburg City Court sentenced to 11 years a colony of a strict regime of 29-year-old Ukrainian Ivan Zabavsky. He was accused of espionage. About it writes the Russian edition of the media. It is reported that the Ukrainian was arrested in July 2022. Zabavsky lived in Kharkiv and worked in a cafe.

His mother Marina Zabavska lived in Tavilzhanka, Kupyansk district, Kharkiv region, which was occupied. In the village lived a native aunt of a man - she died during shelling. When the Armed Forces began to approach Tavilzhanka, Marina Zabavska decided to go to Russia. There was no connection in the village, so the young man did not know about his mother's fate. He decided to go to Tavilzhanka as a driver with a load of humanitarian aid, because other cars were not missed to the frontline.

Marina's neighbors called her and reported that her son was taken away by Russian invaders in the village. The woman began to look for her son and only a year received from the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation the answer that her son was detained "for the opposition of a special military operation".

The woman also found the son of lawyers and they could even visit him in a pre -trial detention center and hand him warm clothes. "Vanya was very grateful, because he spent eight months in one clothes. T -shirt and pants were what he was when he was taken away.

But he refused the help of lawyers," Marina said. She believes that he was forced to do so.
