“Today, on September 13, 2012, the ward, where I am staying, was searched in the best traditions of 1937. I am sure that the search was carried out with the sole purpose of removing the two dosimeters – one primary and a check one, which gave me the opportunity to continuously monitor the radiation levels in the areas where I stay,” Tymoshenko’s defense lawyer Oleksandr Plakhotniuk said, quoted a statement by the ex-premier.
