Convicts and discussed

Presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov refused to comment on the discussion of the fate of the Ukrainian prisoner of war of Nadezhda Savchenko during the telephone conversation of Vladimir Putin and his Ukrainian colleague Petro Poroshenko. It is reported by TASS.

Peskov refused to answer the question of when any changes to the fate of Savchenko, as well as the Russian, Russian Evgeny Erofeev and Alexander Alexandrov convicted on the eve of Kyiv, could occur. “We still do not pronounce, we do not give any explanation in what vein the fate of these citizens was discussed,” the press secretary said. “I don’t know, everything else without any comments.”

The only wording in the Kremlin would like to limit himself to come down to the fact that during the conversation of Putin and Poroshenko, “the fate of Savchenko was discussed and the fate of Russian citizens, two who were convicted yesterday,” Peskov noted.

"We reported yesterday that the Consul General of Ukraine in Rostov-on-Don will be allowed to Savchenko. So far, so far all the information that we are ready to report on the results of this conversation," the press secretary said.

The night before, the press service of the Ukrainian president announced the conversation of Poroshenko and Putin . It was noted that the head of the Ukrainian state "emphasized that Ukraine urges Russia to immediately free the hope of Savchenko." The interlocutors also affected the fate of Erofeev and Aleksandrov, on Monday convicted in Ukraine by 14 years of colony 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 said 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 Petrenkoo published a statement by Savchenko on his FB page on April 7, in which she demanded to start the procedure for her issuance to her homeland.

Savchenko from midnight on April 6 holds a dry hunger strike. It is reported that the state of her health is very poor.
