This is pretty explosive. Nadia Savchenko, the Ukrainian pilot convicted in Russia of killing 2 journalists in Donbass but later pardoned and released by Putin, has turned into a vocal critic of the regime. She has reportedly just charged Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko with the assassination of the Donbass separatist commander known as "Givi."
