Ukrainian diplomats seek access to Savchenko for doctors, consul, relatives

Iryna Heraschenko, a representative of Ukraine in the political subgroup of the Trilateral Contact Group on the peaceful settlement of the situation in Donbas (Petro Poroshenko Bloc faction), said Ukrainian diplomats are trying to resolve the issue of access for doctors, the consul and relatives to Ukrainian parliamentarian and pilot Nadia Savchenko.

"Ukrainian diplomats are now fighting for access for doctors – because it was promised and guaranteed – and relatives to Nadia. And the consul," Heraschenko said on Facebook on Wednesday.

Nikolai Polozov, a lawyer for Savchenko, earlier said the court had denied a visit with Savchenko to Savchenko's sister and mother, and also to Ukrainian doctors and consuls.

On March 8, Heraschenko said Ukraine had obtained from the Russian authorities permission for a group of Ukrainian doctors to visit Savchenko in the detention facility.

The Donetsk City Court (Rostov region) will hand down a sentence to Savchenko on March 21 and March 22.
