The Canadian Chair of the G7 Ambassadors’ Support Group in Kyiv Tweeted, “We are deeply concerned about the situation of Oleg Sentsov and other Ukrainian prisoners and detainees in Russia. Their release, as part of a border bilateral exchange of detainees, would be an important humanitarian step forward.”

Film director Oleg Sentsov is one of a number of Ukrainian political prisoners being held by Russia. Sentsov has been on a hunger strike, calling for the release of himself and other prisoners. He has not eaten since May 14.
