Mission Improbable
28.11.2013
: Who’s oiling the propaganda machine? On the active role played by Viktor Pshonka, Ukraine’s Prosecutor General and a Swiss-based NGO in concentrated moves to associate the imprisoned former Prime Minister with Ukraine’s economic woes and justify her continued imprisonment
Tymoshenko on hunger strike
26.11.2013
Imprisoned former prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko has announced an indefinite hunger strike “in unity and solidarity with all those who are presently struggling on all EuroMaidans in Ukraine and in the world” demanding that Yanukovych sign the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement
Government abandons preparation for EU-Ukraine Association Agreement
21.11.2013
According to the directive, the decision has been taken “in order to take measures to ensure national security, a more detailed study and development of a comprehensive range of measures which need to be carried out to reinstate the levels of production and directions of trading relations with the Russian Federation and other CIS member states which have been lost”
Verkhovna Rada rejects all Tymoshenko bills
21.11.2013
The ruling majority has rejected all seven bills aimed at enabling imprisoned opposition leader and former Prime Minister, Yulia Tymoshenko to receive medical treatment abroad
Tymoshenko decision again deferred
20.11.2013
Opposition MPs are blunt in stating that the delay is because Viktor Yanukovych has still not decided whether to release his main rival or not. Judging by the articles in the world media, this view is very widely shared
US Senate urges Ukraine to release former PM
20.11.2013
The non-binding resolution says Ukraine should release Tymoshenko “from imprisonment based on politicized and selective charges.”
EU issues ’urgent appeal’ to Yanukovych
19.11.2013
German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle has issued an urgent appeal to Ukraine " to act and to unify in a practicable way toward the rule of law, and notplay for time. The clock is ticking, time is running out, and everyone in Ukraine should be aware of this."
Stubbornly non-working group
15.11.2013
The Party of the Regions members of the working group supposedly trying to agree a law enabling Tymoshenko’s treatment abroad seem to have been eager from the outset to break until Monday, the day before the Tuesday deadline for three crucial laws
Hopes dwindling
14.11.2013
No vote took place on Wednesday to resolve the issue of Tymoshenko’s imprisonment and although the Cox and Kwaśniewski Mission has been extended ti the Vilnius Summit, hopes are dwindling
Azarov: EU will be to blame for Association failure
09.11.2013
Answering questions from journalists after a Party of the Regions conference in Donetsk on Saturday, Prime Minister Mykola Azarov suggested that “European politicians” will be to blame if “because of dubious demands over Tymoshenko” the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement is not signed
Bad score for European integration
08.11.2013
The week began with a new attempt at fabricating a “Tymoshenko case” and ended with Yanukovych signing Tax Code amendments, one of which is clearly aimed at blocking Vitaly Klitschko’s presidential aspirations. On Friday it also became clear that any resolution regarding Tymoshenko’s imprisonment has been put off until next Wednesday
So who is obstructing the EU-Association Agreement?
06.11.2013
Ruling Party of the Regions MPs are saying that they won’t support any of the four proposed draft laws enabling Yulia Tymoshenko to travel abroad for treatment
"New Tymoshenko Case" is dreary déjà vu
05.11.2013
The current regime has yet again proved incapable of drawing any lessons from past mistakes. A new attempt ha been made to present Tymoshenko as a criminal embezzling the country using an international company whose fat fee will doubtless be paid for by the Ukrainian taxpayer
Analyst: Ukraine’s future in Yanukovych’s hands
04.11.2013
If President Yanukovych does not release Tymoshenko by 28-29 November, he will be seriously risking that as a result of his intransigence, even European governments with a positive attitude to Ukraine will not be willing to sign the Agreement
Veche instead of compliance
04.11.2013
With three weeks remaining for Kyiv to demonstrate commitment to European integration by releasing Yulia Tymoshenko, the authorities have laid on a thousand-strong “Veche” (people’s assembly) instead
Association Agreement decision could be postponed till 2014
31.10.2013
Poland’s Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski has said that the EU could defer the signing of the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement until 2014. Other EU officials have previously suggested that if it is not signed at Vilnius, nothing can happen until after the next presidential elections
Dodgy Players, Dodgier Game
30.10.2013
With Tymoshenko still imprisoned and EU patience wearing thin, you might have thought now was not the time to arrest another politician. Ukraine’s leaders would appear to have decided otherwise, for reasons which suggest some very strange manoeuvres
Same unconvincing reasons against Tymoshenko pardon
25.10.2013
With the stakes now as high as they will ever be, and the future of the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement in the balance, Ukraine’s top officials are dredging up old excuses for refusing to consider a pardon
Kramer: Human Rights situation likely to worsen before 2015 elections
24.10.2013
David Kramer from Freedom House also warns that if Yanukovych thinks the Association Agreement can be signed without resolving the situation with Yulia Tymoshenko, he’s mistaken
Compliance Rituals
22.10.2013
If the latest bill on resolving "the Tymoshenko issue" is adopted, then Tymoshenko will not have been pardoned but simply removed from the scene. It sounds unpleasantly like the solutions found for Solzhenitsyn and other prominent figures back in Soviet times.
