Ukraine leader sees solution soon to Tymoshenko issue - World | The Star Online:
"Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich said on Friday that he saw prospects soon for a definitive solution to the "painful" issue of his jailed rival, ex-prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko, Interfax news agency said.
The West has been pressing for the release of Tymoshenko, saying she was the victim of a political trial, and the issue has threatened the signing of landmarks agreements between the European Union and Ukraine set for late next month.
"We still have to face a most painful question - this is the question of Tymoshenko," Yanukovich was quoted as saying during a meeting with European commissioner Stefan Fuele. "We are seeking a way (out) and I hope that very soon we will conclusively work out by what means we can settle this question.""
