Ukrainian Justice Ministry to file documents for Savchenko's return home within next two days - minister
The Ukrainian Justice Ministry will file the necessary documents within the next two days to make sure that Ukrainian military aviator Nadia Savchenko, who has been convicted in Russia, could return to Ukraine as soon as possible, Justice Minister Pavlo Petrenko said.
"The convention that envisions the handover of Ukrainian citizens by other foreign countries provides for certain bureaucratic procedures, and, considering this situation and Nadia's state, the deadlines set in the convention are certainly unacceptable. Therefore, an algorithm of actions has been planned today, which, apart from legal procedures, includes also diplomatic procedures so as to speed up Nadia's return to Ukrainian territory as much as possible. And I believe we will submit the necessary documents literally within the next two days," Petrenko said at a news briefing in Kyiv on Tuesday.
