She wrote about this in her Facebook. According to her, on April 23, there was an “exchange of views with Russia” regarding the release of Ukrainian sailors and warships.
“I was struck by the fundamental change in the tone of the conversation - the transition from rudeness and brutal disrespect to the civilized language inherent in diplomacy,” she wrote.
At the same time, Zerkal suggested that this could be “a change in Russian tactics or a simple desire to delay the consultation process.”
She also stated that “this did not affect the positions of the parties” on this issue.
Earlier, a court in Moscow extended the arrest of 24 sailors detained in the Kerch Strait.
Ukrainian sailors were detained on November 25, 2018 after three Ukrainian navy ships illegally crossed the Russian border in the Kerch Strait area.
