7-24-19 Gryb is one of more than 100 Ukrainians who are imprisoned or detained in Russia and in Russia-occupied Crimea on politically motivated charges.
In August 2017, Gryb, then 19, traveled from Ukraine to the city of Gomel, Belarus to meet with 16-year-old Tatiana Yershova, a Russian citizen from Sochi he had befriended online. There he was detained by plainclothes security agents, placed in a van, and later handed over to another group of people. This second group — presumably Russian security or law enforcement agents — took Gryb to Russia and “legalized” his arrest by claiming to have captured him on the territory of Russia. https://www.kyivpost.com/ukraine-politics/russian-supreme-court-upholds-6-year-sentence-for-political-prisoner-pavlo-gryb.html
