The Ukrainian version: she got smuggled by the separatists
The Russian version: she got arrested while being on Russian land and posing herself as a refugee.

BTW: nobody's blaming her for killings just yet, the accusations are for supporting and planning the killings. Allegedly she was a pilot that corrected fire of Ukrainian artillery that killed journalists. That's possible participation in a forethought murder, if proven of course.

I'm not willing yet to drag myself into discussing what she was really doing while on the chopper, but just a quick look at this line makes me feel real inconsistency in this whole story. I mean, why would any Ukrainian chopper pilot in a situation like this ever go to Russia and pose themselves as a refugee?!!!
