A court in Kyiv authorized the arrest of the former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, as it was requested by the prosecution. The arrest is formally grounded on the alleged “systematic violations” of Tymoshenko, such as “obstructing the examination of witnesses” in court. Tymoshenko is charged of “exceeding her authority” when signing a 2009 agreement with Russia on natural gas supply. Tymoshenko denies wrongdoing and calls the trial politically motivated.
