Former Ukrainian Prime Minister and Batkivschyna Party leader Yulia Tymoshenko has said that she would act in the same way if there was a repetition of the circumstances of the gas crisis of 2009.
"At that time, I acted legally, logically, effectively, and in a state-minded way… If such circumstances were repeated now, I would do the same thing," she said during her speech in the debates in Kyiv’s Pechersky District Court on Thursday.
She also said that she did not "trade in land, the Black Sea Fleet, and the gas transport system."
"I have not sold a single inch of land," Tymoshenko said.
She said that "nobody listens to the evidence" of her innocence.
While speaking about the absence of live broadcasting of the trial, Tymoshenko said that it was being done deliberately so that people cannot make sure that the case is falsified.
"There is no live broadcasting, because our channels belong to oligarchs," she said.
Tymoshenko also thanked the people who supported her during the trial – lawyers Serhiy Vlasenko, Mykola Tytarenko, and others.
