Russia must answer human rights violations – Savchenko at PACE session
Russia must answer for violation of human rights, Ukrainian MP Nadia Savchenko has said at the session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE).
Savchenko recalled that she was seized.
"This is violation of human rights and this must be punished in the European court," she said.
"All Ukrainians who are staying in Russia now were seized. Crimean Tatars in Crimea are being seized too," she said.
Savchenko said that she wishes peace for Ukraine and for the whole Europe.
"I am ready to work for this constructively. I hope that I would be useful for this Assembly and Ukraine will be useful for Europe. I want everyone to understand that by pardoning me and all Ukrainians Putin has not made a conciliatory gesture, but showed his disrespect," she said.
She said Russia, which signed the Budapest Memorandum (in 1994, promising to respect Ukraine's sovereignty) has stabbed Ukraine in the back. Savchenko believes that the Russian delegation cannot return to PACE.
