Here's some more Savchenko news from our news desk:

A lawyer for Nadia Savchenko says that the Ukrainian military pilot will be moved from a Moscow jail to a civilian hospital in the Russian capital on April 28.

Lawyer Mark Feigin said on Twitter on April 27 that he had just visited Savchenko in the Matrosskaya Tishina pretrial detention center.

"They will send her to City Hospital No. 20 tomorrow," Feigin wrote.

It was not immediately clear whether the transfer would be permanent.

A spokeswoman for the Russian Federal Penitentiary Service said hours earlier that Savchenko's health had deteriorated abruptly after she refused to eat over the weekend, and that she would be transferred to a civilian hospital "if needed."

Savchenko has been jailed since July, when she says she was illegally brought into Russia after being abducted by pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine.

She is charged with complicity in the killing of two Russian journalists who died in the conflict there, as well as illegal border crossing.

She denies guilt, says Russia has no right to try her, and maintained a hunger strike for more than 80 days over the winter.
