MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 30th August, 2019) Negotiations with pirates about the amount of the ransom payment for eight sailors, including three Russians, who were abducted off Cameroon's coast in mid-August have just started, a source in the employing company told Sputnik on Friday.
"Talks about the ransom payment amount have just started," the source said, adding that no information was currently available on the amount of money that pirates sought to receive.
