Justice Minister of Ukraine
Pavlo Petrenko has reported that the ministry has received Nadia Savchenko a
request on return her to Ukraine.
"Nadia Savchenko must be
brought back to Ukraine! Justice ministry of Ukraine received a request from
Nadia where she asks to launch the procedure for returning to Ukraine,"
Petrenko wrote on Facebook on Monday.
He said that he would "do
everything possible" in accordance to the international conventions to
bring Savchenko back to Ukraine.
"For many times I've been
insisting that Nadia Savchenko was illegally kidnapped from the territory of
Ukraine and was judged by the court that Nadia doesn't recognize. This is why
she even banned her lawyers from appealing this shameful verdict. Tomorrow I'll
meet with her sister Vira," the minister said.
The ministry also said that on
April 19 Petrenko will chair an inter-government conference of a high level,
concerning brining Savchenko back to Ukraine.
"At 1500, Justice
Minister Pavlo Petrenko and Vira Savchenko will give a briefing for the press
following the meeting," the ministry said.
