March 26: Hector Arroyo, one of the Spanish volunteers who was in eastern Ukraine, tells RT that the charges brought against them “sound very bad, but they have no evidence to accompany them.”
“We have not done anything illegal,” he says.
“While the charges sound very bad, they do not really have evidence to accompany them. They have chosen charges to capture media headlines,” Hector Arroyo, one of the eight arrested for allegedly fighting alongside the Donbass militias, told RT, adding that, “We have done nothing illegal.”
In February, the Commissioner-General’s Office of the National Police arrested eight Spaniards for undermining the “neutrality” of Spain regarding the Ukrainian conflict, and charged them with participation in crimes of murder and possession of weapons and explosives, among others.
“We went to do humanitarian work to help civilians,” said Arroyo, who stresses that “the forces of Novorossiya are not terrorists, despite what Ukraine says.”
On Thursday, Judge Santiago Pedraz of the National Court in Madrid questioned three of the eight Spaniards who were in eastern Ukraine. They assured him that they provided only humanitarian aid in the Slavic country and that during their stay they only fired at targets.
