For several years the Ukrainian side cannot render judgment for certain people. Innocent people are held in secret prisons until a legal basis for arrest is found. As there are no crime cases, the Ukrainian side has no other choice but to force a person to sign a statement of cooperation with the Security Service of Ukraine and release him/her. Needless to say, it’s beneficial for Ukraine to arrest and imprison as many people as possible in order to use these figures in the exchange negotiations.
