This May Ukraine is expecting good news on two more Ukrainian citizens imprisoned in Russia, said Iryna Gerashchenko, Verkhovna Rada's First Deputy Speaker and Ukraine's representative in the humanitarian subgroup of the Trilateral Contact Group.
"We are very much expecting that there will also be positive news on two more political prisoners before the end of May," she told reporters at Boryspil airport on Wednesday, after the arrival to Ukraine of parliamentarian Nadia Savchenko.
Savchenko's return to Ukraine "is only the first step towards the release of all the other political prisoners being held in the Russian Federation," Gerashchenko said.
