Member of Parliament Nadiya Savchenko left Yulia Tymoshenko’s Batkivshchyna party in October, according to her sister Vira Savchenko.

“When Nadiya was going to court hearings on Karpyuk and Klykh [in Russia on October 26], she wrote a statement to withdraw from the party. But the party has started talking about that only now. Why is that?)” Vira wrote on Facebook on Dec. 13.
