Sister of jailed pilot now back in Ukraine

Officials in Kyiv say the sister of jailed pilot Nadezdha Savchenko is now back in Ukraine after she was detained on the Russian border.  Border guards reportedly stopped Vira Savchenko as she was trying to cross back into Ukraine in a diplomatic car. She had been in Russia for a court hearing for her sister's case. Her passport was confiscated, but has now been returned. Nadezdha Savchenko has reportedly abandoned a hunger-strike due to reports that a prisoner-swap is being negotiated.
