“Our real heroine,” said speaker Vladimir Groysman.
According to him, Savchenko is “in terrible conditions, actually captured.”
The speaker emphasized that Nadezhda “has not been broken during her entire stay in prison and is evidence that Ukraine will win.”
“With his tenacity he fights for our independence,” says Groysman.
"This is another blow to Putin. Nadezhda hasn't broken behind bars. Her will hasn't deserted her. She stands firm as if she were concrete. She practically constantly switches from hunger strikes to meager meals. A girl who weighs 47 kg is head and shoulders above Putin, the aggressor. She is so strong that behind bars she continues to inspire everyone who fights for Ukraine," Tymoshenko declared.
