The Battle for Novorussiya

Putin pardons and releases Savchenko in exchange for the release of two Russian journalists.

From V. Suchan

It is absolutely clear that the swap of Savchenko for the two captured Russian soldiers was finalized on Monday night during the "Normandy" call. Its cover and the junta's stance demanded that the Russian soldiers, denied being such by the Kremlin, ask for pardon (i.e. forgiveness) from the fascists. They refused. Thus the request was made on their behalf by their Ukrainian advocate. In turn, the Kremlin cooked up a story that the widows of the two Russian journalists on whom Savchenko directed fire coincidentally and conveniently asked Putin today early in the morning to pardon Savchenko, which Putin, prescribing this very "request," generously granted at his early breakfast.

Putin the magnificent and his Surkovian team thus could not come up with a better lie and cover than using poor women, widows of the killed journalists, to do this trade, thus once again showing the regime immoral, hypocritical, insincere, and spineless character.
