European Parliament President Martin Schulz, speaking about the received from Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko list of people who had fabricated the case against the Ukrainian pilot and MP, Nadiya Savchenko, stated that Russian President Vladimir Putin was unlikely to be declared persona non grata in the European Union.

As for the "Savchenko list", whether it will be authorized like in the case with the "Mogherini list", if taking into account that Russian President is number one in that list, Schulz said:
