Ilya Novikov, the lawyer of Ukrainian pilot, MP and member of the Ukrainian delegation to PACE Nadia Savchenko, released the Ukrainian SBU's intercepts of telephone conversations between the leaders of the "Luhansk People's Republic" (LPR), who were discussing her detention.
There was a conversation between former "LPR" leader Alexander Bolotov and Surkov's aide Pavel Karpov, whom Savchenko recognized as one of her abductors.
During the call, Karpov was interested in the nationality of a "sniper." Bolotov said that "babushka" ["old lady," or "granny," which is a codename for the FSB - Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation] had already shown interest in Savchenko.
