Quote of the day
“English fans need to know that if they try to mess with Ukrainian women then we will try to mess with them. The sex industry exploits women who are so poor and often uneducated. That is why we are going to try to attack every match.”
Inna Shevchenko, a member of Femen, the women's group that stages topless protests against men who come to Ukraine for sex tourism.

Editor's Note: Law enforcement officials on Feb. 17 released former deputy Justice Minister Yevhen Korniychuk from pretrial confinement, where he spent 55 days following his arrest in Kyiv before Christmas holidays. Korniychuk has denied charges he rigged a government tender in 2009 for his old law firm to represent Naftogaz, Ukraine’s state oil and gas monopoly. If convicted of the charge, the 47-year old lawyer could face a 7-year prison sentence. Korniychuk is the son-in-law of Supreme Court chairman Vasyl Onopenko. The later met with President Viktor Yanukovych the day before prosecutors released Korniychuk and just as prosecutors dropped a criminal case against his younger daughter. In a recent Kyiv Post interview, Onopenko said it was becoming increasingly difficult for him to not conclude that the investigations targeting his relatives were not part of an attempt to pressure him into resigning. Along with Korniychuk, Onopenko is a former political ally of opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko. He is also the last Ukrainian in a high position of power not politically aligned with Yanukovych. In the below Kyiv Post interview, Korniychuk denied wrongdoing, but said it was unclear to him what could be motivating what he described as unruly investigations and charges against him from the side of prosecutors. ×èòàéòå öå ³íòåðâ'þ óêðà¿íñüêîþ òóò.

Editor’s Note: Experts say excessive pre-trial imprisonment is a major human-rights problem in Ukraine, where suspects can be jailed for up to 18 months before trial. The practice violates democratic principles that call for speedy, fair and public trials as well as the presumption of innocence until proven guilty. More than 40,000 people in Ukraine are imprisoned without trial. The Kyiv Post will keep track of this issue through this new feature called “Jailhouse Watch.” Feb 18, 2011 at 01:38 | Kyiv Post |

Editor’s Note: The statements below were issued on Feb. 1 by two top European Union officials in regards to a travel ban imposed on Ukrainian opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko by prosecutors. This week, Ukrainian prosecutors rejected an appeal made by Tymoshenko, in which she asked for special permission to make a brief visit to Brussels despite an ongoing travel ban so that she – a leading Ukrainian politician – could meet with European politicians and leaders. Tymoshenko was invited by top European officials to attend a series of events in Brussels starting on Feb. 1. But prosecutors banned Tymoshenko from traveling abroad late in 2010 upon charging her with misspending while serving as prime minister. The investigations targeting her as well as the arrests of about a dozen of her political allies are widely seen as politically motivated attack against political opponents of President Viktor Yanukovych. Citing the investigations, the United States and a senior European Union official expressed concern weeks ago about the return of political persecution in Ukraine.
