Petro Poroshenko has noted courage and tenacity of the Ukrainian woman who had been taken hostage and illegally brought to the country-aggressor. She has been taking enormous psychological pressure for a long time already. As a demonstration of protest, she has decided to go on a hunger strike. The President also emphasizes that Nadiya Savchenko shows how much depends on one person. “We will do everything to liberate you from imprisonment. I strongly hope that I will have an opportunity to hand you the Gold Star of the Hero of Ukraine,” the President said.
33-year-old Ukrainian military, deputy of Verkhovna Rada and member of the PACE parliamentary delegation Nadiya Savchenko has been imprisoned in Russia since July 2024. As a demonstration of protest, she has declared a hunger strike 80 days ago already.
