The defendant in the Parubiy murder case requested to be sent to Russia as part of a prisoner exchange.
Mykhailo Stselnikov, a defendant in the case of the murder of former Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada Andriy Parubiy, asks to be sent to Russia as part of a prisoner exchange.
Ukrainska Novyny reports this.
In September, during a hearing at the Franykivskyi district court in Lviv, Stselnikov, who is accused of killing Andriy Parubiy, gave an open letter to the media in which he stated that he wished to be sent for exchange to Russia.
"My son, Stselnikov M. M., died 20. 05. 2026 in the year in the city of Bakhmut. To me, more than anyone, it is known what it means to lose a loved one and to wait for months for any news about a son (...) Therefore I publicly declare my wish to voluntarily go for exchange to Russia and save the life of someone else’s son," wrote Stselnikov in the letter.
During the interrogation, Stselnikov said that he had prepared for the murder for a year, was in regular contact with representatives of Russian special services, and was preparing to flee to Russia.
