The trial of former Ukrainian prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko for tax evasion was adjourned Wednesday until after the Eastern Partnership Summit, at which Kyiv plans to sign partnership deals with the European Union (EU).
The court in the eastern city of Kharkov ordered the case to be put back until Dec. 6, a week after the summit.
This
was the 24th postponement of the trial. Tymoshenko is receiving
treatment at a health center in Kharkov and refuses to appear in court
due to back pain.
