Nadiya Savchenko recently sparked public outcry calling for direct peace talks with Russia-backed militants in the east.

On Sunday, July 24, two men tried to pelt eggs at Nadiya Savchenko, Ukrainian MP, delegate to PACE and military pilot (recently released and brought back from Russia to Ukraine), while she was addressing Ukrainians in Odesa.
