Staunton, Nov. 27 – Vladimir Dubrovsky, founder of the Ukrainian Green Wedge organization which seeks independence for Ukrainian territories in Russian Far East, has been arrested in Georgia on charges of violating that country’s immigration laws and now is at risk of being deported to the Russian Federation.
If returned to Russia, he will face charges of terrorism and likely be imprisoned (t.me/port_media/5987, t.me/sotaproject/106163, govoritmoskva.ru/news/474377/ and https://echofm.online/news/v-gruzii-zaderzhali-glavu-dalnevostochnogo-separatistskogo-dvizheniya-i-ego-devushku).
By detaining Dubrovsky, the Georgian authorities appear to have acted in deference to Russian interests. But the case itself is likely to call attention to the Green Wedge cause and thus work against Moscow.
