An unnamed high-ranking Kremlin official stated that former Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko lied when he testified in Kyiv court that he had no relation to natural gas supply contracts between Ukraine and Russia. "Yushchenko is lying to his court... During his presidential term he personally wanted to gain political dividends and proposed to [Russian] President Dmitry Medvedev that he personally sign a deal settling gas issues... But he was told that the issue was within the competence of the heads of the governments," the official said to journalists. Yushchenko was giving testimony in the trial against his one-time Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, accused of abuse of office and of inflicting damages to Ukraine by signing the gas contract.
