Ukrainian news agencies say militants abducted nine Nigerian students in Ukraine earlier this week. The students were kidnapped in the Ukrainian city of Lugansk. According to them, the students are being held as prisoners at an occupied government security building close to the Russian border.
Colonel Andriy Lysenko, a spokesman for Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council, on Wednesday told a news conference that negotiations are underway to free the abducted Nigerian students. That people with experience conducting negotiations were now making contact with what he called "the terrorists." Adding that Ukrainian officials hoped the talks would end "successfully in the near future."
Separatists seeking greater autonomy have been waging a bloody battle in eastern Ukraine against the government.
Relatives of the kidnapped students have also been making efforts to hold a press conference at the Nigerian Embassy in Ukraine since their abduction.
