Savchenko to be swapped today for Russian soldiers captured in Ukraine - Interfax
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko sends his plane to Russia's Rostov. Two Russian soldiers, captured and convicted in Ukraine, are reportedly aboard the Presidential airplane. They are expected to be exchanged today, on May 25, for Ukrainian pilot Nadiya Savchenko.
This breaking news is reported by Interfax. According to the sources of the news agency, the swap is going to take place at the Rostov airport.
"Savchenko has already arrived in Rostov, accompanied by Russian law enforcment officers. According to the bilateral agreement, Ukrainian authorities are going to release Russian soldiers there in exchange for Savchenko", Interfax quotes its sources.
Savchenko's lawyers say, they don't have any information about the possible swap. "I don't know anything about it. Neither does my colleague Mark Feygin. I think, you should ask the government officials", Nikolay Polozov says in an interview with Interfax.
Russian officials have also failed to either confirm or disprove the exchange. "I don't have any information", Russian President's spokesperson Dmitry Peskov says. Earlier Poroshenko said he would do everything possible for Savchenko to return in May.
