The call is a call

President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko phoned Vladimir Putin to discuss the situation with the Ukrainian prisoner of war, Nadezhda Savchenko, who holds a dry hunger strike in a pre-trial detention center in Novocherkassk on the 13th day. Such information is placed on the website of the head of the Ukrainian state.

Poroshenko "emphasized that Ukraine urges Russia to immediately free the hope of Savchenko," the report said. The interlocutors also affected the fate of the special forces of the Russian GRU, Captain Evgeny Erofeev and Sergeant Alexander Alexandrov, on Monday convicted in Ukraine by 14 years in the age of 14 on charges of armed aggression and terrorism.

Putin promised that the General Consul of Ukraine in Rostov-on-Don Vitaly Moskalenko would be immediately allowed to Savchenko.

Poroshenko also called for access to prisoner Ukrainian or German doctors. However, Putin’s promises are not reported on this subject.

The Kremlin’s website says that during the conversation, “settlement in the southeast of Ukraine, current moments of bilateral relations” was also discussed.

Earlier, it was repeatedly reported about the possibility of exchange of Savchenko for Erofeev and Alexandrov after the sentences of both Ukrainian prisoner and Russian special forces. On Monday, after lunch, the Minister of Justice of Ukraine Pavel Petrenko placed Savchenko’s statement dated on April 7 on his FB page, in which she demanded to start the procedure for issuing it to her homeland.
