“Do not be surprised if very seriously ill people are released in a few days. The fugitives call them ‘ours’ who did not have time to escape and are currently kept in prison. These are those who broke and crushed the country in 2020, but they are really seriously ill, mostly with cancer. We take a human approach and treat everyone properly. I believe that a person in trouble does not have citizenship, and we must help them. Because we are such people, we are Slavs. We don’t want wars, we don’t want conflicts, but if we are hit, we have to answer,” the Head of State noted.
