A Ukrainian pilot on trial in Russia over the killing of two journalists has addressed the court and says she will continue a hunger strike she has been on for five days.
A translator read out her formal, final statement in which she proclaims her innocence and describes her trial as a "farce".
The EU and US have both called for her immediate release.
Ukrainian consuls in the Russian region of Rostov say judges in the case are refusing to issue any more permits to visit Ms Savchenko in prison.
Her relatives have also used up all their visiting permits, meaning a group of Ukrainian doctors en route from Kiev to visit her will also not be given access.
The EU has expressed concern about Ms Savchenko's wellbeing, and Nobel prize-winner Svitlana Aleksievich is among more than 4,300 signatories to an open letter urging European leaders to act to secure her freedom
