The Russian Foreign Ministry called for the release of SOS Donbass founder Anna Novikova

Moscow calls on Paris to immediately release Russian citizen Anna Novikova, founder of the SOS Donbass association for assistance to residents of Donbass. This was announced on April 1 by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova.

"We appeal to the French authorities to immediately release Anna Novikova. We insist that the repression against individuals whose entire fault lies in expressing opinions that do not coincide with the official version of Paris should be stopped immediately," Zakharova said at a briefing.

According to her, European countries need to stop persecuting people who tell the truth about the crimes of the Kiev regime.
