Ukraine’s General Prosecutor's Office instituted criminal proceedings against former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko. Although no formal charges have yet been brought, Tymoshenko said the prosecution is alleging that she embezzled money that Ukraine received from the sale of greenhouse gas emission quota credits and used the funds to pay retirement benefits for elderly persons. Tymoshenko denies wrongdoing and calls the prosecutors’ actions “terror against the opposition.”
