A Ukrainian pilot on trial in Russia over the killing of two journalists has addressed the court and says she will continue a hunger strike she has been on for five days. Nadia Savchenko was making her closing statement in the trial.  She denies directing artillery fire at the Russian journalists in June 2014. She is reported to have refused all food and drink since 4 March when the hearing was adjourned before she could make her final statement.
She mocked the judges in Ukrainian, saying they were proving that Russians were “fascists”.
