Nadiya Savchenko can
be released after the trial – Ilya Novikov
(UTR.TV) --- Ilya Novikov, a lawyer of
captive Ukrainian pilot Nadya Savchenko, said that the investigation had
dramatically accelerated even before two Russian special forces officers were
detained by the Ukrainian military in the east of Ukraine.
The lawyer explains
this by "the command." According to him, apparently, the decision has
already been made to hold a court as soon as possible and then conduct
negotiations at the level of diplomacy after the court. He thinks that the
release of Savchenko it is most likely going to happen, as there are no advantages
for the Kremlin that she is being kept. They will achieve their targets in
terms of public opinion by conducting the trial. And when the trial is over,
she'll be of no use while becoming inconvenient.
