SUMMARY

The two Russians, exchanged for Ukrainian pilot Nadiya Savchenko, were volunteers who did not ask for clemency.

Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko signed a decree pardoning Alexandrov and Yerofeyev on May 24. The decree states that the pardon is a response to the petition for clemency filed by the two Russians. In a statement to the Russian news agency TASS the lawyers of the two Russian officers confirmed that they had filed a petition asking for clemency. Nadiya Savchenko however, did not ask for clemency from Russian President Vladimir Putin (bit.ly/25FwjFk), .
