Before Gerashchenko told about the threats of the militants:

“They threatened my children (say, think about your three children, we scary for them, and this is not the first outright threat), as well as humiliated Heavenly Hundred. I stopped this Orgy, reminded the coordinator of the OSCE on the inadmissibility of threats, and left the group,” she said.

Klimkin noted that the continuation of such practices endangers the Minsk format in General.

“The fact that they threatened to Irina (Gerashchenko), threatened the children is outside any border. If this will continue, we will not be able to say neither in Minsk, nor in any other format,” – said the head of the foreign Ministry of Ukraine.
