Ukraine has announced its readiness to work with Italian and German authorities on the investigation of the case involving Serhiy Kuznetsov, a Ukrainian citizen currently detained in Italy. The National Security and Defense Council has confirmed that Ukraine is maintaining a firm stance on the repatriation of its citizen, emphasizing the country’s commitment to ensuring the rights and safety of its nationals abroad.
According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the case is under investigation, and Ukraine is cooperating with the Italian and German authorities to gather all necessary evidence for the legal proceedings. However, the Ukrainian government continues to insist on the return of Kuznetsov to Ukraine, where he will face potential legal challenges. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has not yet provided details about the nature of the charges against Kuznetsov, but it has emphasized that his detention is being examined within the legal framework of both countries.
The situation has stirred international attention, with some observers suggesting that Kuznetsov’s case might be linked to broader geopolitical tensions between Ukraine and Italy. However, Ukraine has reiterated that it is focused on the legal aspects of the case and is committed to maintaining diplomatic relations with both Italy and Germany. As the investigation progresses, the Ukrainian government will continue to monitor the developments and ensure that the rights of its citizens are protected abroad.
