On May 25, 2016, Nadiya Savchenko, the Ukrainian pilot who has been wrongfully imprisoned in Russia for nearly two years, has returned to Kyiv, Ukraine.
“I am free,” said Nadiya Savchenko,”I’m ready to once again give my life for Ukraine on the battlefield”
Nadiya Savchenko was sentenced in March 2016 to 22 years in prison in the Russian Federation and has been released as part of a swap for two Russian servicemen Alexandrov and Yerofeev.
