KIEV, March 18 – The list of individuals engaged in the Nadia Savchenko case who may be subjected to personal sanctions (the so-called Savchenko List) may be expanded, Ukrainian Deputy Foreign Minister Vadym Prystaiko said.
"It goes by the name of the 'Savchenko list,' but the idea is to apply it to all political prisoners. This list will be similar to the Magnitsky List, named after a Russian human rights activist who died in prison, and I hope it will be used to force Russia to release Savchenko and other persons whom we do not forget," Prystaiko said at the Verkhovna Rada on Friday.
