Statement by NATO spokeswoman Oana Lungescu:

We welcome that the Ukrainian sailors seized by Russia last November are finally back home, as well as the filmmaker Oleg Sentsov. This is a step in the right direction. NATO continues to call on Russia to fulfill all its obligations under the Minsk agreements, including the release of all prisoners.

At the same time, it remains important to establish the truth and accountability for the downing of flight MH17, in line with United Nations Security Council Resolution 2166.
