Russian court convicts Ukrainian pilot- File Photo
Ukrainian pilot Nadiya Savchenko has been found guilty by a Russian court of charges relating to the deaths of two Russian journalists.
She was accused of directing the artillery fire in eastern Ukraine in which the two journalists died in June 2014, a BBC report says.
Prosecutors said she was driven by "political hatred".
She denied all the charges and Western politicians have been among those calling for her release.
As the verdict was read, Savchenko began singing the Ukrainian national anthem.
