Lavrov: Release of Ukraine's Savchenko From Prison 'Right Move'
10:58 GMT 31.05.2016 (Updated: 10:59 GMT 31.05.2016) The release of Ukrainian Nadezhda Savchenko, who was sentenced to 22 years as an accomplice to the murder two Russian journalists, was the "right move," Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Tuesday.
MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree to pardon Savchenko.
"I think we did that right. It was necessary to return our citizens. That happened," Lavrov said during a live linkup on kp.ru.
He also said that Savchenko is not the only anti-Russian Ukrainian politician.
"There are almost no politicians there [in Ukraine] who can speak with us normally," he said.
Savchenko was delivered to Kiev following the pardoning. On the same day, a plane carrying Yevgeny Yerofeyev and Alexander Alexandrov, Russian citizens convicted and sentenced in Ukraine for terrorism-related activities landed at Moscow’s Vnukovo Internatinal Airport, after Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko signed a corresponding decree to pardon them.
