Tymoshenko's Block: EU and US discuss sanctions against Ukrainian officials
Vice-Chairman of the party "Batkivschyna" Ryhor Nemyra has said this on air to "5th Channel".
Nemyra has informed that the European Union and the United States discuss a possibility of imposing personal sanctions on the officials who are connected with criminal persecution of the ex-PM Julia Tymoshenko, and their family members, at the corresponding levels. However, he hasn't named the source of information.
Let us remind you, the visit of Ukraine's President Victar Yanukovich to Brussels, which was planned to take place on Thursday, was cancelled. They say that Julia Tymoshenko's sentence was a non-official reason for this. The Pechersky court of Kyiv sentenced her to 7 years of imprisonment last week. The West considered the sentence politically motivated.
