A three-day visit to former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, who is imprisoned in the Kachanivska penal colony in Kharkiv, by her daughter, Yevheniya, has ended.

An Interfax-Ukraine reporter said that the younger Tymoshenko left the colony at about 09.40 on March 12.

She was met by about 20 supporters of Yulia Tymoshenko, who decorated the fence around the prison with the portraits of the ex-premier. The supporters gave Tymoshenko’s daughter flowers and asked her how the visit went.

"Well. We communicated… My mom feels not bad, she’s standing firm. She’s now in better mood," Tymoshenko said.

She confirmed that ombudsperson Nina Karpachova had visited her mother on March 11.

"Karpachova visited [the ex-premier]. She also supported my mother," Tymoshenko said.

As reported, the leadership of the Kachanivska penal colony granted permission for Yulia Tymoshenko to have a three-day visit from her mother from March 9 to March 11. However, her mother could not take this opportunity due to poor health.
