Tymoshenko quizzed on ties to Lazarenko
KYIV - Vice Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko has given U.S. federal agents a deposition and answered questions about her past connections to former Ukrainian Prime Minister Pavlo Lazarenko, who is being held in the United States on embezzlement charges, the DPA news service reported on September 26. Ms. Tymoshenko was the No. 2 person in Mr. Lazarenko's Hromada Party and in the mid-1990s was the president of Ukraine's United Energy Systems (UES). Ukrainian authorities have accused Mr. Lazarenko of giving the UES a monopoly on Russian gas imports in return for cash payments to his offshore bank accounts. Ms. Tymoshenko has denied any wrongdoing. U.S. investigators are also questioning Vladimir Falkovich and Ms. Tymoshenko's husband, Oleksander, both former UES board members. (RFE/RL Newsline)
