Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych has said once again that the investigation of the criminal case against ex prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko must be transparent.

"I am interested in that more than anyone else. I want to wish Tymoshenko that she would find a possibility of defending herself. I am interested in that. Let her protect herself and her subordinates," he said in an interview with 1+1 channel Sunday evening.

He said that the decision concerning Tymoshenko will be made in the framework of Ukrainian law and it will be free from politics.
