Hmm, everything still up in the air regarding Sentsov, it seems...

Here's more from our news desk on what might be happening with Oleh Sentsov:

Russian Media Reporting Sentsov Transferred To Moscow Detention Center

SIMFEROPOL, Ukraine -- Russian media reports say Ukrainian film director Oleh Sentsov, whose imprisonment has been criticized by Kyiv, Western governments, and human rights groups, has been moved from a remote prison in Russia's Arctic region to a facility in Moscow.

The TASS and Interfax news agencies as well as the Baza and Nezygar online news resources, quoting unnamed sources, said on August 29 that Sentsov had been transferred to Moscow's Detention Facility No. 2, also known as the Butyrskaya prison, from a penitentiary in the town of Labytnagi in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District.

Sentsov has been imprisoned in Russia since opposing Moscow's takeover of his native Crimea in March 2014.

He was sentenced to 20 years in prison after being convicted of terrorism in a trial criticized by human rights groups and Western governments as politically motivated.

Reports about Sentsov's transfer to Moscow come a day after a court in Ukraine ordered jailed Russian journalist Kirill Vyshinsky to be freed on his own recognizance and released from custody before his trial on treason charges.

Unconfirmed reports said in recent days that Russia and Ukraine were going to exchange Sentsov for Vyshinsky.

Sentsov's mother, Lyudmyla Sentsova, told RFE/RL on August 29 that her son skipped their usual end-of-month telephone conversation, which had never happened before.

"Yesterday, August 28, was exactly one month since he called me. He usually calls for 20 minutes exactly once a month. I was waiting for his call today as well, but he did not call, " Sentsova said, adding that for the first time in five years she had received a postcard from her son on August 12, in which he congratulated her on her birthday and wrote "trust me, we will hug each other soon."

Sentsova also said that she has no information about her son's current location.

Last year, Sentsov went on a 145-day hunger strike protesting his imprisonment and demanding the immediate release of all Ukrainian citizens held in Russia on politically motivated charges.

In December, the European Parliament awarded Sentsov its 2018 Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought.

The Moscow-based Memorial Human Rights Center has recognized Sentsov as a political prisoner.

Kyiv and Moscow have held talks in recent weeks on a prisoner swap that could include dozens of prisoners.

Ukraine's Opposition Platform-For Life party leader Viktor Medvedchuk, a close Kremlin ally, said on August 29 that the talks are ongoing.

"I know that such negotiations are ongoing, but there is no final solution. Also, the question of the person you named, Sentsov, has not been resolved," Medvedchuk said during the inaugural session of parliament.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said last week that he hopes to see the "first results of the prisoner swap" soon.

Good morning. We'll get the live blog rolling today with this item on what's happening in the Verkhovna Rada today. By the sound of it, it seems the Ukrainian parliament has a busy day ahead.

Ukraine's New Parliament Has Packed Agenda For First Session

KYIV -- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s ruling Servant of the People party has held a closed-door meeting to hammer out the new parliament's first-day agenda for August 29.

Zelenskiy, 41, arrived at the Parkova exposition center on August 28 with deputy presidential office heads Oleksiy Honcharuk and Ruslan Ryaboshapka, who are favored to be the next prime minister and prosecutor-general. respectively.

The 27 agenda items for the marathon session include appointing a prime minister and forming a new cabinet of ministers, appointments that party chairman Dmytro Razumkov this week said wouldn't take place on the legislature’s first working day.

Consideration of a bill to lift lawmakers' immunity from prosecution is also on the agenda. Because it's a constitutional amendment, the bill requires a two-thirds majority vote that Servant of the People lacks.

Abolishing immunity has for Ukrainians consistently been one of the most desired anti-corruption measures, according to public opinion polls.

For a time, it was a condition for a visa-free travel deal with the European Union, but the demand was dropped after a report by the EU’s legal counsel advised against it.

'Up To 100 Draft Laws'

Preceding that, outgoing Prime Minister Volodymyr Hroysman will resign, parliamentary factions and groups will form, and a speaker and two deputy speakers will be chosen.

Zelenskiy then will deliver a state-of-the-nation address on his 102nd day in office.

A new defense and foreign minister will be appointed, and the current state security chief will be dismissed as well as the prosecutor-general. Their replacements should be appointed the same day.

Between 30 and 100 legislative bills will be considered, People of the Servant deputy Yuriy Kamilchuk told 112 Ukraine channel.

"Tomorrow we will consider draft laws, which I think we prioritized today, although the main ones are constantly talked about in the media," Kamilchuk said. "There is a chance that we’ll adopt more than 30, and maybe up to 100 draft laws."
