The Donetsk city court in Russia's Rostov region, on Tuesday, will announce a penalty for Ukrainian pilot Nadia Savchenko charged in the case over the killing of Russian journalists.

The judges announced a break in the sentencing until 10 a.m. March 22, an Interfax correspondent said.

On Monday, the court found Savchenko guilty of killing the Russian journalists and having illegally crossed into Russia. During the sentencing, Savchenko sat on the bench for about half an hour, occasionally rising to speak to her defense attorneys.
