The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry has appealed to the Russian Foreign Ministry with the demand to confirm the fact and clarify the circumstances of the detention of anti-terrorist operation (ATO) soldier Oleh Nehoda in Moscow, an official representative of the consular service department of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, Vasyl Kyrylych, has said.

"We have appealed to the Russian Foreign Ministry with a petition to inform us whether the said citizen was detained. If the detention is confirmed, we demand to state on what grounds and under what circumstances the detention center was made, and also to urgently allow the consul to visit the detained Ukrainian," Kyrylych told Interfax-Ukraine on Tuesday.

Earlier, the media reported the detention in Moscow of ATO participant, resident of Kyiv Nehoda, who went to Saratov (Russia) to visit his sister late in 2017.
