"Worse than Crime - Blunder"

http://russia-insider.com/en/politics/nadia-savchenko-attacks-ukraines-president-killing-donbass-rebel-givi/ri18864

I'm not sure what her motivation is, I believe she is opposition to Poroshenko's party and is jockying for position in upcoming election, but she is certainly right that there was no strategic value in killing Givi, and in fact, these murders will have strengthened the resolve of the Novorussians against any spring offensive and that they will never again be part of Ukraine.

She may recognize from her own lenient treatment, and that of many Ork POWs, how accommodating RF has been to show good will under the circumstances, This would make her one of the smartest politicians in Ukraine. It is a strange but hopeful development; an outbreak of rationality from an unlikely source!
