Ukrainian political prisoners, MP, PACE delegate Nadiia Savchenko told Russian judges she would start a "dry" hunger strike.

As reported by Censor.NET, Savchenko's lawyer Nikolai Polozov announced this in his Twitter.

"The court has once again threatened to remove Savchenko from the hall. She says she will start a "dry" hunger strike if they remove her," Polozov wrote.

According to the lawyer, as at 3 p.m., the court was questioning the defense witness - Ukrtransnafta expert O. Pulenets. He is explaining how a person can climb the tower from which Savchenko, according to Russian investigators, adjusted artillery fire.

The witness claims at least two people and a 6-7 meters ladder with hooks is required to do that. A camo-clad person carrying a machine gun, he says, would not be able to climb the tower.
