First Deputy Chairperson of the Verkhovna Rada and Ukraine's envoy to the Minsk Trilateral Contact Group's humanitarian subgroup Iryna Gerashchenko has announced that as part of the prisoner swap with the self-proclaimed republics in Donbas, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko will soon pardon a woman who has committed a serious crime against Ukraine, as the process of releasing Ukrainian hostages needs new impetus, according to an UNIAN correspondent.
"In the next few hours, soon, the president of Ukraine will pardon a woman who has committed a serious crime against the state of Ukraine, in order to expect that serious work will continue on the release, first of all, of our military who are being held captive in the occupied areas [in Donbas] for a long time," she said at a meeting of parliament factions' leaders and parliamentary committees' heads.
