EU considers Ukraine’s isolation over Tymoshenko case
Ukraine risks finding itself in international isolation if it continues with the criminal prosecution of former PM Yulia Tymoshenko and other political opponents of the ruling president. EU leaders are calling for an international boycott of Kiev.
Europe is aligning positions in a slam-bang political brawl with Ukraine. European capitals are calling on Kiev to commit to democratic principles and denounce the seven-year prison sentence handed to Tymoshenko as politically-motivated.
They’re also demanding the release of former Interior Minister Yury Lutsenko and Valery Ivashchenko who was temporarily in charge of the Ukraine’s Defence Ministry.
All three Ukrainian politicians are currently serving various terms in jail on economic crime charges.
