LPR People's Militia calls on the UN and ICRC to protect the rights of the captured officer Andrey Kosyak, the Defense's official representative Ivan Filiponenko said.

"We are asking the UN and ICRC leadership to carry out all necessary procedures for access and protection of rights in relation of Andrey Kosyak, as anything can happen to him in SBU captivity," he said.

According to Filiponenko, the kidnapped officer is being subjected to phycological and physical influence.

He also criticised the OSCE SMM mission for not including the incident in its reports and not assessing Kiev's actions as illegal. *t
