Arrangements on the release of Ukrainian pilot and MP Nadia Savchenko have been cancelled, her sister Vira Savchenko has said.

"While 'politicians' are forming a 'coalition', the agreements about the core European value - that of the human life have been thwarted! Poroshenko, Putin return Nadia to us!" Vira Savchenko wrote on her Facebook page on Monday.

In the comments to Interfax-Ukraine, she clarified that the arrangements for the release of her sister from a Russian prison have failed. "Yes, this is the information I have," Vira Savchenko said citing her own sources.

She accused Ukrainian politicians of trying to use the current situation to gain more popularity, instead of taking real steps for her release.

"Because the first thing that needs to be done is to bring the person home, and then they can promote themselves. Bring her back and then you can show off and take selfies," Vira Savchenko said.
