The people’s Deputy Hope Savchenko, accused of Vice-speaker of Parliament, member of the humanitarian sub-group of the Minsk contact group Irina Gerashchenko in the prolongation of the negotiations on exchange of prisoners. According to Savchenko people like Irina Gerashchenko and methods that delay the negotiations on the exchange. This opinion Savchenko said in an interview to “BBC-Ukraine”.
Savchenko said that he spoke to Gerashchenko, but they have not found a common language.
“We talked to her, but found no common ground. Such people as Irina Gerashchenko, it is by such methods that they are delayed negotiations,” - said Savchenko.
Note that Irina Gerashchenko regularly reports about the attempts of representatives of Ukraine in the humanitarian sub-group to unblock the process of exchange of prisoners, however, the militants disrupted the process.
Previously Savchenko has repeatedly and publicly advocated dialogue with the representatives of the illegal “Republic” regarding the exchange of Ukrainian prisoners of war to the insurgents, which caused very ambiguous reaction in the society. For example, another political prisoner of the Kremlin Gennady Afanasyev stated that “asked to make a door yourself in the camera instead of having to be obmennik on militants.
Recall that Savchenko organized a rally of relatives of Ukrainian prisoners of war by the AP. Relatives of the prisoners were under the AP in protest against government inaction on the issue of release of prisoners. Later on, five participants - three mothers and two wives of prisoners on hunger strike, some time later they were joined by one man.
Wednesday, August 10, it became known that the mothers and wives of Ukrainian prisoners of war stop the hunger strike under the Administration of President going to go on their own in occupied Donetsk. In “DNR” said that the militants held in captivity the citizens of Ukraine may meet with their mothers in the near future.
According to official data of the Ukrainian authorities, in Russian prisons hold 10 Ukrainian hostages, another 109 people held hostage in the occupied territories of Ukraine.
