(ANSA-AP) - KIEV - An official in the Ukrainian presidential administration says Russia has released jailed pilot Nadezhda Savchenko and she is being flown to Ukraine, as part of a swap for two Russian servicemen imprisoned in Ukraine.
The official spoke to The Associated Press on Wednesday on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to release the information.
Kremlin-funded television station RT, citing unidentified sources, reported that two Russians also were released and are being flown to Moscow.
