Apelujeme na Vás na prijatie naliehavých opatrení s cieľom okamžitého a bezpodmienečného prepustenia tridsaťštyriročnej Nadiyi Savčenko, ukrajinskej občianky, zajatej a uväznenej na viac ako 20 mesiacov v Ruskej federácii.

Ruské orgány si urobili výsmech z ľudských práv, medzinárodného práva a ich vlastnej ústavy. Ukázali ako opovrhujú medzinárodným spoločenstvom a minským protokolom.

Doteraz sa ukázali všetky snahy medzinárodného spoločenstva ako neúspešné. Dňa 4. marca na protest proti konaniu na ruskom súde, Nadiya Savčenko ohlásila držanie hladovky, odmietajúc aj príjem tekutín.

Naša možnosť zachrániť jej život otestuje efektivitu medzinárodnej diplomacie a náš záväzok európskym hodnotám.
