Timoshenko trial and verdict condemned. Joseph Daul MEP, Chairman of the EPP Group
"I condemn the way in which the trial against the leader of the opposition in Ukraine, Yulia Timoshenko, was conducted and the lack of argumentation and organisation of the trial. The sentence of former Prime Minister Yulia Timoshenko to seven years in prison cannot be considered credible and must be condemned. "It is unacceptable that Timoshenko's defence was denied its various pleas without any explanation. In addition, the conditions in which the trial took place are deplorable, including the difficulties the EU envoy had faced when asking to enter the courtroom. "As Chairman of the EPP Group in the European Parliament, I would like to reiterate that this case is politically motivated and did not meet even minimal European standards. "This outrageous verdict has irreparably demolished our trust in the Ukrainian authorities and points to massive abuses of power by the Ukrainian leadership. "Today's verdict can only cloud further future cooperation and contact with the current leadership of Ukraine."
