An important component of the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine is the detention, arrest and imprisonment of Ukrainians on the occupied territories of Ukraine (Crimea, parts of Donetsk and Luhansk regions). This refers to Nadiya Savchenko, Oleh Sentsov, Oleksandr Kolchenko, Hennadii Afanasyev, Yurii Soloshenko and others. Nadiya Savchenko, a volunteer of Aidar Batallion [42], and an officer of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, was captured by militants on 18 June 2014 in the vicinity of Luhansk and handed over to the Russian authorities who put her in prison and opened a criminal case against her for alleged “involvement in the death of Russian journalists Ihor Kornelyuk and Anton Voloshin” [44].7 July 2015, the charges against Savchenko were upgraded to “the murder of two Russian journalists in Donbas, not of complicity in this crime” [54].the version of the Russian Federation Investigative Committee (‘IC’), “Savchenko, being an officer of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, on 17 June 2014 conducted covert surveillance and correction of artillery fire on the site in the area of Metalist village of Slavyanoserbsk region (Luhansk oblast’) shelling at the “LDR militia’s” roadblock, where Russian journalists were. As a result of the shelling two Russians were killed” [66]. In March 2016, the Donetsk city court of the Rostov region found Savchenko guilty and sentenced her to 22 years in prison [67]. international law ukraine aggressioncharges against Savchenko are widely discredited given the circumstances of the case, including those which the IC has focused on. Inconsistencies inherent in the versions of the Russian government and the Russian media and can be seen in particular from how they describe the circumstances of Savchenko’s detention. In July 2014, a Russian state-controlled NTV channel (“Gazprom-Media”, a unit of Gazprom, owns it) [43] informed that Savchenko had been detained by “militia” and handed over to the Russian authorities [Shishkin, 2014]., later the Russian Federation has denied that Savchenko was detained in the territory of Ukraine, claiming that she had illegally crossed the Ukrainian-Russian border, to find herself in the territory of the Russian Federation “no later than 23 June 2014”. On 9 July 2014, the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation stated: “... With regard to the arrest of Savchenko, then, as it turned out, that under the guise of a refugee and without any ID she had crossed the border into Russia. She was purportedly stopped by a patrol in a residential area and detained for identification purposes. Later, it transpired that Savchenko was a suspect in a criminal case on charges of involvement in the killing of Russian journalists” [72].23 July 2015, the official representative of the Russian IC Markin pointed out that “There is a theory that we have allegedly abducted Savchenko from somewhere. In fact, everything is very banal. She crossed the border of the Russian Federation, which is rather nominal I must admit. For a long time she was in the Voronezh region ... The investigation has the testimony of the two drivers, who gave her a ride; she lived in the hotel for quite a while ... Moreover, we have her handwritten statement addressing the Federal Migratory Service with a request to provide her with a document confirming the identity” [66].the above statements, during Savchenko’s “trial” in the Rostov region the prosecution did not explain what had made her cross the border and settle in one of the hotels on the territory of the Russian Federation; how this fits with the status of refugee, with which Savchenko allegedly crossed the border; what she was going to do in the Russian Federation etc., they have nothing to say because these versions are absurd. The point is that the Russian investigation itself stuck to the version that Savchenko committed the crime deliberately. If to follow this logic, the alleged
