Poroshenko: I am ready to exchange Savchenko

President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko says he is ready to exchange Nadiya Savchenko.

He stated this during the joint briefing with President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

"If you ask whether I am ready to take a decision on exchange, I emphasize for the first time that I, as the President of Ukraine, am ready to use my constitutional right and exchange Nadiya and do everything possible to return her home, alive and sound, as soon as possible," Poroshenko said.

The President of Ukraine stressed that the Russian side had put forward no serious proposals on this issue.

"To avoid any speculation, I want to emphasize that over these almost two years, there have been no proposals for Savchenko’s exchange from the credible sources," he said.
