LIVADIYA (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 09th June, 2021) Investigators from the self-proclaimed Luhansk People's Republic (LPR) have already been in contact with Belarusian authorities regarding the case of Roman Protasevich, the co-founder of the Nexta Telegram channel, LPR Head Leonid Pasechnik said on Wednesday.

"As far as I know, there were contacts.

In my opinion, our investigators - although I don't know [for sure],... should have gone to Belarus to interrogate him in our criminal case. But this is not certain. But contacts and phone calls were held 100%," Pasechnik told reporters.

LPR believes that Protesevich, currently detained in Minsk, was responsible for the transit of people to Donbas who wished to participate in a war on the side of Kiev.
