Abisov has been dismissed from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine for "high treason",[7] and the Ukrainian authorities announced their desire to arrest Abisov.[8] He is suspected of committing crimes under Part 1 of Article 109 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine ("actions aimed at violent change or overthrow of the constitutional order or the seizure of state power").[9]

Notes

  1. ↑ Since the 2014 Crimean crisis, the status of the Crimea and of the city of Sevastopol is under dispute between Russia and Ukraine; Ukraine and the majority of the international community considers the Crimea and Sevastopol an integral part of Ukraine, while Russia, on the other hand, considers the Crimea and Sevastopol an integral part of Russia, with Sevastopol functioning as a federal city within the Crimean Federal District.[1][2][3]
