Ukrainian woman Nadia Savchenko has prevented the presiding judge at the Donetsk city court from announcing the prison term imposed on her by singing a Ukrainian folk song.

When judge Leonid Stepanenko was about to announce what penalty the defendant, in his view, deserves, Savchenko started loudly singing a Ukrainian folk song, an Interfax correspondent reported from the courtroom.

The court announced a break due to the impossibility of continuing to deliver the verdict.
