FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda On Tuesday, Tymoshenko agreed to move to a local hospital and receive treatment under the supervision of a German doctor.
The opposition leader’s daughter Yevgenia said that her mother agreed to be hospitalized in the eastern city of Kharkiv on Wednesday so that German neurologist Lutz Harms can “begin bringing (her) out of her hunger strike.”
Earlier in the day, Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich delayed a meeting of Central and Eastern European presidents, which had been scheduled to be held in Yalta from May 11 to 12.
Before Yanukovich’s decision to delay the summit, the presidents of Germany, Austria, Italy, Croatia, Estonia, Slovenia, Bulgaria, and the Czech Republic had all said they would not attend the meeting to protest what they called Tymoshenko’s mistreatment in prison.
The former premier has been on a hunger strike since April 20 in protest over her alleged mistreatment by prison guards, who were trying to forcibly move her to the same clinic she agreed to visit on Friday.
Her case has set off a political firestorm in Ukraine and damaged the country’s image abroad as prominent EU officials have threatened to boycott soccer matches that Ukraine begins co-hosting with Poland on June 8 for the continent’s Euro 2012 championship.
In October 2011, a Ukrainian court sentenced Tymoshenko, who is the country’s leading opposition figure, to seven years in prison and banned her from political activities for three years after her release after convicting her on several charges, including abuse of power in signing a gas deal with Russia in 2009.
Tymoshenko has denied the allegations, saying the charges against her are politically motivated and that Ukraine has returned to the dark days of Stalinism.
