A group of the Ukrainian doctors so far has not received a permission from the Russian authorities to visit Ukrainian pilot and parliamentarian Nadia Savchenko, who is detained in the Russian detention facility, First Deputy Health Minister of Ukraine Oleksandra Pavlenko said.

"Our doctors, who were sent for a medical examination of Nadia Savchenko, have no sleep two day long. A permission of the Russian party for doctor's access to the patient hasn't been granted yet. We're still waiting. We're in a constant touch with Ukrainian Foreign Ministry and doctors," she wrote on her Facebook account.
