“I did not want to leave these people without help, but the possibilities of Russian diplomacy are very limited (and there have been reports from them) when it comes to Ukraine and other citizens, literally. In total, probably about fifty people turned to us, but then not all of them wanted publicity for their stories, ”Polyansky said.
It was surprising to the diplomat that Ukrainian refugees in Europe had no rights before their detention centre. At the same time, Ukrainian diplomats in the European Union are helpless, choosing not to aggravate relations with the countries supporting Kiev.

According to him, this is due to the difference in the legislation of European countries.
