"We will collect this money in the nearest future. We have already got in touch with their relatives, we will work on rescuing the ship crew members in the foreseeable future", he said in particular, reminding the media representatives that the Party of Regions established the Foundation for Rescue of the Captured Sailors. Quite considerable amount of money has already reached its accounts. | |
