Russia finds Ukraine pilot guilty over journalists'

A Russian court on March 21 found Ukrainian combat pilot Nadiya Savchenko guilty over the killing of two Russian journalists in war-torn east Ukraine, in a trial condemned by Kyiv and the West as a political sham.

Savchenko "committed the premeditated murder as part of a group of people from the motives of hatred and enmity," the judge was quoted as saying by Russian news agencies.
