Quote of the day

Roman Olearchyk in Kyiv, Neil Buckley in London and Peter Spiegel in Brussels write:"A Kyiv court has jailed Yulia Tymoshenko, Ukraine’s former prime minister and co-leader of the 2004 Orange Revolution, for seven years, raising doubts about the country’s democratic future and its hopes for closer integration with the west.

The European Union criticized the “selective justice” meted out against a leading opposition figure, while Russia’s prime minister Vladimir Putin called the ruling – which challenged the legality of a 2009 natural gas deal with Moscow – “dangerous and counterproductive."
