  Senator McCain and President Martens again urge Ukrainian authorities to lift the travel ban

  21/6/2011
  
  Senator McCain and President Martens again urge Ukrainian authorities to lift the travel ban on Yulia Tymoshenko
  
  
  US Senator John McCain, Chairman of the International Republican Institute, and President Wilfried Martens, President of the European People’s Party (EPP), jointly called on the Prosecutor General’s Office to lift the ban on travel imposed on Yulia Tymoshenko, leader of the Batkivshchyna Party. The travel ban was imposed by the Prosecutor General of Ukraine on January 31. The ban would preclude Mrs. Tymoshenko’s attending a session of the EPP Group in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe on June 22 in Strasbourg, as well as the EPP Summit of heads of government and party leaders on June 23 in Brussels. Yulia Tymoshenko is the leader of the Batkivshchyna Party, an observer member of the EPP.
  
  "We jointly repeat our previous call on the Ukrainian authorities to allow Yulia Tymoshenko to attend the meetings of the EPP in Strasbourg and Brussels on June 22nd and 23rd. We are disappointed by the fact that this is the second occasion on which we have had to address this issue publicly. Consequently, we urge the Ukrainian authorities to lift all restrictions on Mrs. Timoshenko’s travel to international events. Needless to say, the continuation of this travel ban could be viewed as selective prosecution of members of the opposition in Ukraine.”
  
  Senator McCain and President Martens made a similar request on March 7, 2011.

    Ukrainian Foreign Ministry thinks that the #EPP, the biggest EU-level party, is a 'fan club'

    If the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry thinks that the #EPP, the biggest EU-level party, is a 'fan club', then this demonstrates how little they understand EU politics and how little they care about the EU & European integration. I expected the FM to be a bit more serious.

  The United States is aware of the opening of the trial against former Prime Minister

  Prosecution of Ukrainian Opposition Leaders

  June 24, 2011
  
  The United States is aware of the opening of the trial against former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko and reiterates its concern about the appearance of politically-motivated prosecutions of opposition figures in Ukraine. When the senior leadership of an opposition party is the focus of prosecutions, out of proportion with other political figures, this creates the appearance of a political motive. We urge the Government of Ukraine to refrain from actions that create such an appearance and undermine the rule of law in Ukraine. We will closely monitor the legal proceedings against Yulia Tymoshenko and other opposition figures.
