The commissioner for human rights, Nina Karpachova, is to meet with EU ambassadors to Ukraine to prove them that former Ukrainian Premier Yulia Tymoshenko had been beaten, Leader of the BYT-Batkivschyna parliamentary faction Andriy Kozhemiakin has said.

"Karpachova will confirm [that Tymoshenko has] bruises in written form at a press conference for EU ambassadors. She will show the results of an expertise and colored photos of bruises and hematomas on Tymoshenko’s body," Kozhemiakin said at a briefing on Friday.

As reported, Karpachova earlier confirmed that Tymoshenko had bruises on her body.

"Today I decided to check the situation by myself. I am in the administrative building of the Kachanivska colony right now. I am confirming every word I’ve said in my interview. The ombudsman’s representative, Serhiy Kudruk, absolutely correctly confirmed the injuries I’ve seen today by myself. They are on the right side of the stomach and on the arm, shoulder and elbow," the ombudsman said on April 25.
