Stanislav Aseyev was kidnapped by pro-Russian militants in June 2017 and forced to confess to “spying.” For 3 years, he had published reports on life under Russian occupation in the separatist-controlled city of Donetsk. On October 28, 2019, Russia-backed separatists in Ukraine sentenced Aseyev to 15 years in a penal colony. On December 29, 2019, he was released as part of a broader prisoner exchange in Ukraine.
