The presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that he knows nothing about the possibility of exchanging Nadezhda Savchenko for Russian citizens Viktor Bout and Konstantin Yaroshenko, who are serving prison terms in the US.
"I have not heard anything about this. I saw media reports but I have no information," he said.
The Kremlin spokesman also said that Russian President Vladimir Putin and US Secretary of State John Kerry discussed the issue of Russian citizens’ confinement in American prisons.
"Russia continues to defend the interests of its citizens. It is in this context that these names were mentioned in the conversation with Kerry," TASS cited the presidential spokesman as saying.
