"Zakharchenko was put on an international wanted list back on July 31, 2014. He is suspected of preparing terrorist attacks, so he can in no way be a ‘people’s deputies’ from the side of the ‘DPR’, " Tandit said.

Advisor to the head of the SBU also reminded that it was Zakharchenko who organized the so-called parade where the Ukrainian POWs were taken as exhibits.

"For us, neither Zakharchenko nor Plotnitskiy are law-abiding citizens of Ukraine. We have to remember that they gave orders to kill people," said the advisor to the head of the SBU.

Tandit said he would not like to discuss the initiative on direct negotiations with the “DPR/LPR” of Ukrainian MP Nadia Savchenko. He suggested that her words were pulled out of context.

The advisor to the head of the SBU expressed the hope that Savchenko will in one way or another participate in the process of liberation of the Ukrainian prisoners.

As UNIAN reported earlier, Savchenko said she was ready to personally hold talks with the “leaders” of the "DPR" and "LPR."
