U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry did speak on Friday
over the phone with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and urged Russia to
immediately release Nadia Savchenko and all other remaining hostages, as well
as to fully implement its Minsk obligations.
"On Ukraine, Secretary
Kerry urged Russia to end the violence along the line of contact, to fully
implement its Minsk obligations, and to immediately release Nadia Savchenko and
all other remaining hostages," U.S. State Department spokesperson John
Kirby said at a daily
press briefing in
Washington, DC, on April 15, 2016.
Kerry also reiterated his
serious concerns over the ongoing threats to the cessation of hostilities in
Syria and the urgent need for the Assad regime to stop its violations of the
cessation.
The Secretary said that the
United States expected Russia to urge the regime to comply with the cessation
and its requirements under it and that we, the United States, would work with
the opposition to do the same.
Kerry also
registered our strong objections to the unsafe maneuvers executed by Russian
military aircraft over the USS Donald Cook in the Baltic Sea, Kirby said.
