KYIV. Aug 26 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Latvian prosecutors are collecting the testimony of Ukrainians regarding the filtration camps through which persons displaced to the Russian Federation pass, the Prosecutor General’s Office (PGO) reports.
The Prosecutor General’s Office informed on the Telegram channel on Friday that Prosecutor General Andriy Kostin had a conversation with Prosecutor General of Latvia Juris Stukans.
According to the report, the Ukrainian and Latvian prosecutors discussed cooperation, in particular, within the framework of the Joint Investigation Team (JIT).

The PGO notes that the Latvian Prosecutor General assured his colleague of Ukraine’s full support and informed that "Latvian prosecutors have already interrogated about 80 citizens of Ukraine and continue to collect testimony, in particular, regarding the filtration camps through which persons displaced to the Russian Federation pass."
