Batkivshchyna Party leader Yulia Tymoshenko has expressed her gratitude to U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for her statement against political repression in Ukraine, according to the Official website of Yulia Tymoshenko.

"I want to express my gratitude to U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for her comments made in Vilnius against political repression in Ukraine. I think the world realized a long time ago that political repression can’t be a reality in a European country, which our Ukraine is," Yulia Tymoshenko said before the start of today’s hearing in the Pechersk District Court of Kyiv.
