It is likely that Russia will make a gesture of goodwill and release the Ukrainian captive sailors until Christmas
said the US State Department's Special Representative for Ukraine, Kurt Volker, in an interview with TSN.
"I think this (referral) Ukrainian sailors up to Christmas – Ed. ) We probably all call Russia to do it as a gesture of goodwill and, I l & # 39; Hopefully, they are anxious not to aggravate the situation, so that we can have momentum, "- said Volker.
He added that Putin had recently communicated with the mayor "Ukrainian soldiers were threatened"
"As I know, President Putin had a conversation with Chancellor Merkel during which he discussed the alleged judicial process in Russia, which, of course, is not legal.However, even if he cited for the legal process by which sailors must pass, we hope that this (release, – [19459005Ed) will be done as soon as possible if you make an effort.But the most important thing is to release the sailors as soon as possible.
Volcker canceled his working visit to Moscow because of the seizure of Ukrainian sailors and indicated that he would return there after the liberation of the sailors.
"But after the Russian attack against the Ukrainian warships and the capture of sailors President Trump has canceled his meeting with President Putin. And I also decided that a visit to Moscow for me at that time is impossible. I hope that I will do it next year, as soon as the sailors are really fired. "
