The Ukrainian parliament has voted in favor of a bill that will allow the release from jail of the former Ukrainian prime minister, Yulia Tymoshenko. 310 MPs have voted to decriminalize the article of the Ukrainian law defining the charges under which Tymoshenko is serving her term. The former Ukrainian PM was sentenced to 7 years in prison for abuse of office during the signing of the January 2009 natural gas imports contract with Russia.

Comment: Yulia Tymoshenko was charged with abuse of power and embezzlement and sentenced to seven years in jail in October 2011.

Her supporters claim that she was charged and sentenced under current president Yanukovych but the investigation that led to her imprisonment was launched at the behest of her former ally, Yushchenko, with whom she led the CIA's 2004 'orange revolution'.

Investigators concluded that Ukraine suffered losses of 310 million euros due to Tymoshenko's ten-year dodgy gas deal with Russia.

Before Tymoshenko was sentenced for her controversial gas deal in October 2011, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) re-opened another criminal case which had been scrapped in 2005.

Between 1995 and 1997 during her time as head of Ukraine's then largest natural gas importer, United Energy Systems of Ukraine (UESU), the "gas princess" allegedly embezzled 405.5 million dollars in cooperation with Pavlo Lazarenko, who was Ukrainian Prime Minister at the time.

Lazarenko plays also a central role in the latest and most interesting criminal case against Tymoshenko, the 1996 murder of Ukrainian oligarch Yevhen Shcherban.

This is the kind of 'leader' that the US and EU would like to see in power in Ukraine, because they share so many 'interests'. And this is the kind of leader the Ukraine will have, the wishes or interests of the Ukrainian people be damned.

The US state department and EU would like to thank the dozens of Ukrainian citizens who gave their lives so that the US state department and EU could use their sacrifice to manipulate the world and push through an elitist political agenda that will ensure the Ukrainian people are screwed for decades to come.
