euronews interview – Ukraine’s president defends Tymoshenko trial
http://www.euronews.net/ Ukraine’s ambitions to join the EU were expected to take a big step forward this week during a visit by President Viktor Yanukovic to Brussels.
But relations between the two sides have been so severely strained by the jailing of opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko that the trip has been postponed.
Europe suspects the seven year sentence for abuse of powers was politically motivated.
In an exclusive interview, our correspondent in Ukraine raised this and other contentious issues with President Yanukovich.
