You're reading: Savchenko lawyers hope for closer cooperation with SBU

Lawyer of the Ukrainian parliamentarian Nadia Savchenko Ilya Novikov has said he wishes cooperation of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) with pilot's defense team to be closer.

“We aren’t quite satisfied with the speed the case is running. We
receive documents from the SBU due to our Kyiv colleague Oleksandr
Plakhotniuk. But all this stuff is lasting for weeks, while we should
respond at once,” he said on Chorne Dzerkalo (Black Mirror) show on
Inter TV on Friday.

Novikov said he welcomes more understanding and cooperation with the SBU investigators to tackle all urgent issues immediately.
