He stated this during a press conference, reports Navigator’s own correspondent in Donetsk.
“NATO intelligence officers were detained yesterday. Intelligence equipment was confiscated along with documents. But after another of our activists was detained yesterday, the headquarters decided to exchange them for our political prisoners. No one will just let them go. Where they are located and how they are maintained, I don’t have such information,” Pushilin said.
As Navigator reported yesterday, the Ministry of Internal Affairs announced that a bus carrying 13 passengers, including seven OSCE representatives and five representatives of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, was stopped for inspection in Slovyansk, after which they were detained. The OSCE later clarified that the people on the seized bus were not affiliated with the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission or the election observers. According to the OSCE, the military verification mission, "arriving at the invitation of the Ukrainian authorities in accordance with the Vienna Document 2011," was detained. It consists of eight people: four German citizens and one representative each from the Czech Republic, Denmark, Poland, and Sweden.
