Poroshenko hands over so-called Savchenko list to Tusk

"The president have given Tusk sanctions-related proposals against the individuals who have framed the case against Savchenko," Poroshenko's press secretary Sviatoslav Tseholko wrote on Twitter on Thursday. Later on the president's press service said that Poroshenko gave European Parliament President Martin Shultz Ukraine's sanction-related proposals along with the names of Russian officials who forged the case against Savchenko. The president asked the EP president to step up pressure on Russia to release Savchenko and other Ukrainian prisoners incarcerated in Russian prisons. As was reported earlier, Poroshenko announced on March 15 that Ukraine is cooperating with the European Union and the United States in drawing up a list of sanctions against the individuals who were involved in the unlawful detention of Savchenko and the trial against her. Ukraine's international allies fully support Ukraine in this issue, Poroshenko said.
