Nadiya Savchenko says she already visited occupied Donbas unknown to leaders of militants

Ukrainian MP Nadiya Savchenko has already visited the militant-territory of Donbas and is ready to participate in talks on release of Ukrainian captives with the leaders of militants.

She stated this at a press conference on Tuesday, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

"I am ready and have already visited [the uncontrolled territories], just unknown to self-declared representatives of ‘DPR’ or ‘LPR’. I came to the territory beyond the demarcation line and talked with people, listening to their problems. I just did not go to Donetsk and Luhansk," Savchenko said.

She also confirmed her readiness to negotiate with the self-proclaimed leaders of militants in the occupied territories on release of Ukrainian captives, as she stated previously, despite provided guarantees for her personal safety.
