Ukrainian pilot and MP Nadia Savchenko, who is charged with being complicit in the killing of Russian journalists, has said that she was brought across the Russian-Ukrainian border in June 2014 by representatives of the Russian security services.
“In the morning of June 23 [2014] from Luhansk, where I was held captive, I was taken in a Zhiguli/VAZ-2101 car by two people with unmistakable Russian accents,” Savchenko said during questioning at a court in Donetsk.
“Later on, the cars and the convoys were changed, and late in the evening of the same day I was driven in a VAZ 2091 car with a Russian number plate, which was carrying me across the territory of Russia. We drove through the village of Kantemirovka [Voronezh region],” she said.
“I’m sure that the masked people who accompanied me were representatives of Russian special services,” Savchenko said.
