Nobel Prize Winner Sviatlana Alexievich believes that the verdict to the Ukrainian pilot Nadzeya Savchenko, who is sentenced to 22 years of imprisonment, is mad.
"This is not only the offense of the authority, it is frenzy. The authority seems to find itself in some kind of trance provoked by its opportunities and impunity. Everyone understands that it is a political process that has no grounds. It is clear that Ukraine, not Nadzeya Savchenko is tried. They want to show that there is no one in the world who can dictate terms. But it looks like a frenzy, some agony. Anyway, the policy is a number of reasonable actions. But current actions do not make any sense”, - charter97.org quotes Sviatlana Alexievich’s words.
