Representatives of the European Union and the United States arrived at the trial of Savchenko

Seven representatives of the European Union and the United States will attend the hearings of the Ukrainian pilot, the delegate of Ukraine to the PACE Nadezhda Savchenko.

“The purpose of our visit is to observe the progress of the trial,” one of the representatives of a group of foreign observers told reporters outside the Donetsk court building in Rostov. He noted that the group included representatives from Sweden, the Netherlands, Great Britain and the United States of America.

Nadezhda Savchenko, according to the defense and the Ukrainian side, was abducted in the combat zone in the Luhansk region in early July 2014 and taken to the territory of Russia, where she is accused of killing two Russian journalists in the Donbas.

On the eve of the defense provided a new video evidence alibi Savchenko, which concerns the video questioning militants Ukrainian pilots.

Another argument from the defense of Savchenko was the data of telephone billing, according to which, during the shelling, Savchenko was already in captivity.

Savchenko's lawyers have repeatedly published evidence of the pilots' innocence.

Also recently it became known that the EU wants to draw up another list of sanctions involved in cases: Nadezhda Savchenko, Ukrainian director Oleg Sentsov, sentenced to 20 years in prison in Russia, and Estonian policeman Eston Kohver.
