Black day of Russian justice

 Dramatic events on the 22 March in Brussels naturally took over the European news space. However, another not less tragic event happened yesterday in Russia: Ukrainian symbol of resistance, Nadiya Savchenko has been sentenced to 22 years imprisonment. N. Savchenko is not the only Ukrainian who goes through illegal trial in Russia. Nevertheless, her story is the most covered by the western media. As she stated earlier, after the sentence she would go on “dry” hunger strike. The sanction list  of individuals involved in the case of N. Savchenko has been passed by President of Ukraine to EU leaders.
