Ukrainian MP Nadia Savchenko at a session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) has said that she is ready to hold talks with Russian representatives and separatists from Ukraine's east for the sake of freeing the hostages.

"I am ready to talk with the Russian side and militants because I know what a human life is worth. I know that every day spent there may be your last one," the Ukrainian lawmaker said.

She said she will never support conflict, per se, but she is prepared to defend her homeland.

Savchenko mourned the fact that not all Ukrainian hostages have been freed.

She said that as a PACE member she will work (for their release) for the sake of peace.

"I would like Russia, which is the party that doesn't acknowledge that they are also killing, but claims, that we are the only ones who kill, I would like them to make at the same decision, [as I did]," Savchenko said.
