“We confirm that Assange the cat is safe. Assange asked his lawyers to save the animal from the threats of the embassy in mid-October. They will reunite at large, ”the portal says.

The cat of Julian Assange attracted the attention of journalists in November 2016, when he "put on" a collar with a striped tie on the occasion of the interrogation of his owner.

On April 11, Assange was detained on the territory of the Ecuadorian embassy in London in connection with a United States request for extradition.

The court left him in custody.

A spokesman for the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, assessed the situation.
