You're reading: International Advisory Council demand to free Nadia Savchenko

Participants of a meeting of the International Advisory Council unfurled a banner with a demand to free Ukrainian pilot and MP Nadia Savchenko who was unlawfully put in jail in Russia.

“She is not only officer of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, patriot and symbol of a Ukrainian woman, but she is a proof of Russia’s aggression – 19 months ago she was captured by Russian intelligence services and unlawfully moved to Russia,” Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said at a first meeting of the International Advisory Council in Kyiv on Saturday.

He said that it is important that Russian President Vladimir Putin hear demands to free Savchenko from the whole world.
