Ukrainian volunteer Mykhailo Puryshev said he has left Russia and is safe, following an incident in which he travelled to Moscow in connection with his son. He described being subjected to pressure involving Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) and blackmail over the child. Puryshev became known for evacuation and aid work during the siege of Mariupol in 2022. The case highlights the risks faced by Ukrainian citizens who enter Russian territory to recover relatives, and the reported use of family members as leverage by Russian security services.
