Ukraine: Kiev frees Russian volunteers in exchange for far-right pilot

TWO jailed Russian citizens flew home from Ukraine yesterday after being exchanged for a neonazi militiawoman imprisoned in Russia.

The plane carrying Evgeny Erofeev and Aleksandr Aleksandrov landed at Moscow’s Vnukovo airport in the afternoon as billionaire Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko sent his personal aircraft to fetch Nadezhda Savchenko from Rostov-on Don.

On her arrival she burst into song and chanted: “Glory to Ukraine!”
