A Polish MEP tells Polish Radio that the EU is "reaching the end of its patience" with Ukraine over the release of former prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko ahead of the Eastern Partnership summit in Vilnius.
The fate of the imprisoned Tymoshenko has yet to be settled, with Brussels
telling Kiev that an associate agreement between the EU and Ukraine, scheduled
to be signed at the summit this month, depends on her release from prison,
where she is serving a seven-year sentence for “abuse of powers”
while concluding an energy deal with Russia as prime minister in 2008.
