"In this photo are real journalists who are currently in pre-trial detention on false and flimsy charges. I wish you only one thing – resilience!" he wrote.
Artem Dmytruk wished the imprisoned prisoners of conscience strength and faith in a better future.
"With you are millions of Ukrainians, and we will keep on fighting for your release!" noted the Member of Parliament.
