PRESS RELEASE

For the record…

In a recent press release titled "Tymoshenko Issues Plea for World Support of Democracy in Ukraine; Asks Supporters to contribute via party's website" that was distributed by the campaign contribution company Aristotle International, Brama.com was cited as one website (among others) that has linked to a page on the Razom.org.ua website (Nasha Ukrayina political bloc) where contributions can be made.

For the record…

Brama.com never authorized the use of its name in association with the above-mentioned press release.
The link referred to in the press release (that was posted on Brama.com) was to a page that was clearly marked "Attention! A bank account created to support protesters."

Brama.com has consistently supported the democratic movement in Ukraine.

Brama strongly encourages its readers to perform the necessary research and due diligence before contributing financial support to any organization in Ukraine or elsewhere.
