The leader of the Ukrainian opposition in parliament has not been allowed to meet with jailed former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko.
Arseniy Yatsenyuk, head of the opposition Batkivshchyna faction, and
parliamentary deputy Iryna Lutsenko and her husband, former Interior
Minister Yuriy Lutsenko, were denied a meeting with Tymoshenko in a
Kharkiv hospital.
Yatsenyuk said the action was a warning of “a breakdown” of the European
Union’s Eastern Partnership summit in Vilnius later this month in which
the EU hopes to sign an Association Agreement with Ukraine.
