Radio “Svoboda” reports that the Senate approved this document on November 18.

In the resolution there is a concern concerning a selective justice and politically motivated imprisonment of Yu. Tymoshenko that “detracts from Ukraine’s otherwise strong relationship with Europe, the United States, and the community of democracies”.
