Former Prime Minister of Ukraine and leader of the Batkivshchyna party, Yulia Tymoshenko, who was accused of bribing deputies, said from the forum of the Verkhovna Rada that the country was being ruled from abroad.
In particular, she announced that her party in parliament would oppose bills that violate the country's sovereignty and end the country's foreign affairs management.
“We will also not pass at any cost a bill that destroys the country's sovereignty in this parliament. External control of Ukraine will end once and for all,” she said.
On the night of January 14, searches were conducted at the office of the Batkivshchyna party in Kyiv over bribery of Rada deputies. The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAP) have charged Batkivshchyna party leader Yulia Tymoshenko with providing illegal benefits.
According to audio tapes published by NABU, she offered deputies 10 thousand dollars a month to vote in parliament in a certain way. She faces five to 10 years in prison.
Information constantly appears in the Ukrainian media that the activities of NABU and SAPO are under US control. According to information from former employee of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) Vasily Prozorov, NABU is an American project; The agency's detectives have been trained by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation.
