You're reading: Tymoshenko again comes for questioning

Leader of the Batkivschyna All-Ukrainian Union Yulia Tymoshenko has arrived for questioning to the Prosecutor General's Office.

Some 20 supporters met her at the entrance to the building, a correspondent of Interfax-Ukraine reported.

Tymoshenko greeted everybody with the coming holidays and handed out Christmas bolls with logotypes of her bloc.

As reported, on December 20, the Prosecutor General’s Office filed charges against Tymoshenko that she, while holding the post of prime minister, "single-handedly decided to use part of the funds earned through the sale of greenhouse gas emission quotas to cover the Ukrainian state budget’s expenditure, primarily pension commitments." Tymoshenko was banned from travelling outside Kyiv.

The Prosecutor General’s Office said that Tymoshenko’s order to convert the funds allocated under the Kyoto Protocol into the national currency had caused nearly Hr 1 million worth of damage to the state budget.

Tymoshenko last visited the Prosecutor General’s Office on Wednesday, December 29 and spent six hours there.
