Russia does not accept the claim in the case of Ukrainian pilots Hope Savchenko, because it is not subject to the Minsk agreements. This was said today the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova, said «Interfax».
«We must influence the conflicting parties as well as France and Germany should have an impact on Kiev. All the rest is nothing we do not need, “- said Zakharov, in response to a question about whether Russia should release Savchenko within the Minsk agreements
March 22 court sentenced Savchenko to 22 years in prison.. She was found guilty in the deaths of the journalists of VGTRK Korneliuk Igor and Anton Voloshin in the Donbass in June, 2014. Savchenko itself did not recognize his guilt. It also said it would not appeal the verdict. Himself the sentence will come into force on April 3.
The verdict has drawn sharp criticism from the West and Kiev. President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko has offered Moscow to exchange Savchenko “two Russian servicemen.” The US State Department called for the release Savchenko, and the verdict was called contempt of justice principles.
The Russian Foreign Ministry to the US statement was received with bewilderment.
The head of the Kremlin administration Sergei Ivanov March 25 said that the exchange of Savchenko “theoretically possible”. However, he stressed that such a decision can only be made by President Vladimir Putin. At the same time Ivanov noted that the exchange Ukrainian soldiers is not related to the implementation of the Minsk agreements, since Russia is not a party to the conflict.
