On Friday, January 16, the head of the Batkivshchyna faction, Yulia Tymoshenko, arrived at the Supreme Anti-Corruption Court in Kyiv, where the consideration of the issue of choosing a preventive measure for her began. The trial is taking place in a case on suspicion of bribing deputies during voting in the Verkhovna Rada.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before the start of the court session, Yulia Tymoshenko spoke to journalists in the courtroom. She stated that she considered the criminal proceedings politically motivated and expressed hope for a fair trial.<\/p>\n

Separately, Tymoshenko commented on the audio recordings released by the NABU, in which, according to the investigation, she allegedly discusses with a people’s deputy the system of payment for specific votes in the Verkhovna Rada. According to her, these recordings do not correspond to reality.<\/p>\n

“First, I want to say very clearly that I have never said such words. Today I will provide evidence in court that this audio track is completely fake,” Yulia Tymoshenko said.<\/p>\n

She also answered journalists’ questions about the defense’s position when choosing a preventive measure.<\/p>\n

“I believe that there is no crime and therefore there can be no preventive measures,” Yulia Tymoshenko noted. <\/p>\n
