Russia did not allow Ukrainian doctors visit in prison the pilot Nadezhda Savchenko, judged by the deaths of two Russians in eastern Ukraine and found reporters on hunger strike, his lawyer said Tuesday.
“Finally, the Ukrainian medical commission received from the Russian authorities for permission to visit Savchenko and examine their health,” she wrote the lawyer Nikolai Polozov in your own social network Facebook.
For that reason, the Ukrainian doctors decided to leave Russian territory, said Polozov, who has demanded an urgent medical examination of his client, who does not eat since March 4.
“My personal opinion is that the situation is critical. The health and life of Nadezhda are dying out before our eyes. Time is running out,” said Friday in another message social networks.
Savchenko, who agreed to drink water on March 10 after a week without eating, has more than 38 degrees of fever for several days.
The Ukrainian pilot, who was already last year about three months without eating, said he will maintain the current hunger strike until it enters into force the judgment against you, ie ten days after it is issued, which is scheduled for 21 or 22 March.
During the trial that began last year in southern Russia, the pilot said he will return to Ukraine “dead or alive”.
Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said recently that, according to Russian doctors treating Savchenko, his health is not alarming, “is not incurable” and even “doing physical exercise”.
Lavrov informed Kiev that he was willing to allow the pilot was seen by Ukrainian doctors, but the insults uttered Savchenko during the last -he session a dismissive gesture to the judge and the Russian press by hand, one “peineta” – forced the judge to prevent any visit to the announcement of the decision.
On the other hand, the Russian Foreign Ministry yesterday ruled out the possible release of the pilot before the court delivered its judgment.
“Whatever the pressure exerted on the Russian Justice and public opinion, the trial will continue until the end and judgment will be delivered,” he said.
One of Savchenko’s lawyers, Mark Feigin, suggested the possibility that his client be exchanged for two Russian soldiers captured in eastern Ukraine: Alexandr Alexandrov and Yevgeni Yerofeev.
However, Savchenko itself in its last plea opposed any trade, considering that it would be “unfair” trade to an “innocent person” by Russian soldiers who fought in Ukraine.
“I’m not a piece of haggling. I am innocent and my guilt can not be proven. Therefore, I will not accept any exchange of prisoners of war,” he said.
The US vice president, Joe Biden, the European Union and many MEPs have demanded that Russia immediately release the Ukrainian pilot.
According to the Prosecutor of Russia, Savchenko provided the Ukrainian forces the coordinates of a checkpoint of the pro-Russian militias in the Luhansk region, where two journalists who were killed were by mortar fire in June 2014.
