McCain urged Kerry to call for freeing Savchenko in Moscow
Censor.NET reports referring to the senator's official webpage.
"I strongly urge you to make Ms. Savchenko's case a central element of the agenda. As you noted in your recent statement, her continued imprisonment and sentencing demonstrate a clear disregard for international law and violate Russia's commitments under the Minsk agreements," he stressed.
According to McCain, a strong message must be delivered to the Russian government that it must honor its international obligations and release Nadiia Savchenko immediately.
"If Russia upholds Ms. Savchenko's sentence and continues its shameful and blatant breach of international law, I ask that you take all necessary steps to initiate targeted sanctions, as authorized under the Magnitsky Act, against those responsible for her kidnapping and illegal imprisonment, as well as officials involved in the fabrication of false charges against her," McCain noted.
