Ukrainian filmmaker Oleg Sentsov, receiving a human rights prize from the European Parliament, warned Tuesday against attempts to thaw ties with Russia.
Sentsov was held in a
Russian jail for the first five years of a 20-year sentence for allegedly planning attacks in Moscow-occupied Crimea.
"We talk a lot about peace-building, about making peace with
Russia, but I don't believe what Putin says and I encourage you not to either," he said.
