Timoshenko forgot about the case instituted against her in Russia

The Prime Minister of Ukraine Julia Timoshenko declares about her invariable intention to visit Russia.

"All my planned visits abroad, including Russia, will take place. And as soon as the terms are to be known, we will inform the press," said Timoshenko during the press-conference on Thursday in Kiev.

In response to journalists’ questions, the Premier said that she does not know the latest development of the case, instituted against her in Russia.

"I forgot about it. It is an absurd. I think I will never remember such things in my life. I think everybody understands that the time of repressions passed," said Timoshenko.

We remind that an international search is still called for Timoshenko, as reported by the prosecutor general of Russian Federation Vladimir Ustinov.

"As concerns the criminal case against Timoshenko, the declared search is still in force," the prosecutor said.

Speaking about possibility of closing the case, the prosecutor general underlined: "a considerable material damage was caused to Russian Federation– about $100 million. Amends were not made and prosecution has no grounds to stop investigation."
