KIEV (Reuters) - Ukrainian lawmakers called on Wednesday for an investigation into what they say are anti-Ukrainian actions by Nadiya Savchenko, a helicopter navigator who returned to Ukraine to a hero's welcome last year after being held in a Russian jail.

Savchenko, herself now a lawmaker, has sparked anger since her return by holding talks with pro-Russian separatists without the government's consent and also for publishing secret lists of people who were captured or are missing in the eastern conflict.
