Ukraine officer mocks judges in final appearance

A Ukrainian officer has defied a Russian court trying her over the killing of two Russian journalists, vowing to continue a hunger strike and making an obscene gesture at judges.

Nadia Savchenko, a pilot who served as an infantry volunteer fighting rebels, was making her closing statement.
She denies directing mortar fire at the Russian journalists in June 2014.
She says she has not had food and drink since Friday.
Speaking Ukrainian, she mocked the judges in the court in the south Russian town of Donetsk, saying they proved that Russians were "fascists".
