Speaking to RFE/RL on December 13, Ukrainian lawmaker Nadia Savchenko, who was jailed in Russia in 2014 and became a national symbol of resilience before her release in May, rejected critics' claims that her talks with the separatist leaders Aleksandr Zakharchenko and Igor Plotnitsky was a step towards legalizing "terrorists."
