The Batkivschyna party of jailed opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko has made public a Ukrainian translation of a report produced by German doctors after their visit to the Central Clinical Hospital No.5 of Ukrzaliznytsia in Kharkiv, where the former prime minister was late on April 20 transferred from her jail cell.

According to the conclusion by doctors from Berlin clinic Charite, Ukrainian authorities have made considerable steps to safeguard Tymoshenko’s health by providing quality medical treatment and conditions.
