Leader of the Batkivschyna All-Ukrainian Association and former prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko has said that she has been placed under a taboo on all Ukraine's central television channels, except Channel 5 and TVi, Channel 5 reported.

"When I am meeting people now, they often ask me, why they can never see me [on TV]? I want to tell everyone that all the central television channels, except Channel 5 and TVi, have enforced a taboo on me. And this is a rather rigid taboo. So, it is not my fault that you do not see me, that I can not get through to any television channel, despite the fact that I head the biggest opposition team," Tymoshenko said in an interview with Channel 5, which will be broadcast on Tuesday night.
