Tymoshenko said about political pressure against the background of the investigation against her

The leader of the Ukrainian Batkivshchyna party, Yulia Tymoshenko, said that the investigation against her was of the nature of political pressure and linked it to the upcoming signing of peace agreements and the possible holding of elections. This was reported on January 20 by the newspaper "Страна.иа ".

"They are now, on the eve of signing peace documents and holding elections, purging those who ideologically take fundamentally different positions," Tymoshenko said during a court hearing that considered the seizure of her property.

The hearing was adjourned until the next day. Representatives of Tymoshenko's defense said that they did not have enough time to review the materials of the petition.

Earlier, on January 19, it became known from the declaration of Tymoshenko's property for 2024 that, together with her husband, she owned accounts with more than $5 million. At the same time, there was $4 million in one of the accounts belonging only to her.

On January 15, Tymoshenko noted that Ukraine has been turned into a corruption hub at all levels, from the head to the last official. According to her, the Kiev authorities have identified her team as the only real opposition in the country, which confirms their actions against her and her team.

On January 14, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) released audio footage of Tymoshenko's negotiations on bribing deputies of the Verkhovna Rada, where she offers them money for a "correct" vote. The bureau also showed footage of the head of Batkivshchyna during searches of the party's office.
