FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 03.22.2016 The Ukrainian Congress Committee of America (UCCA), the largest representation of Americans of Ukrainian descent, strongly condemns today’s sentencing by a Russian kangaroo court of Nadiya Savchenko, former Ukrainian Air Force pilot, Iraq War Veteran, Member of Ukraine’s Parliament and delegate to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe. In what was a lengthy nine-month trial, shockingly reminiscent to the show trails of the Stalinist period, and despite mounds of evidence of her innocence, Nadiya Savchenko was sentenced today to 22 years in prison. The Ukrainian Congress Committee of America will never recognize the Russian court’s decision, and calls upon the United States and the international community to demand that the Russian Federation immediately and unconditionally release Nadiya Savchenko. #FreeSavchenko Now!!
