"Now it is a challenge to the entire civilized world - to force Putin to release Ukrainian citizen Nadiia Savchenko," Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk said reporters during celebrations commemorating the 202nd birthday of Taras Shevchenko on Wednesday, March 9.

"Nadiia Savchenko has become stronger than the entire international diplomacy. The whole civilized world, not in words but in deeds, must prove that in this world there are human rights and respect for the individual. That is why the international community must help release Nadiia Savchenko," emphasised the Prime Minister.
