Russian authorities have begun a psychiatric evaluation of captured Ukrainian air force pilot Nadiya Savchenko, who is accused of complicity in the killing of Russian journalists in eastern Ukraine, without waiting for a court hearing on this procedure. Human rights observers have called the case against Savchenko politically motivated, and US authorities have said that her freedom is one of the conditions for sanctions against Russia to be relaxed.
