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.
