Ukrainian ex-Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko may see her prison term extended to up to 15 years if an investigation proves that she committed high treason by pushing through a 2009 gas deal with Russia, RIA Novosti reported, citing the Ukrainian media.
A special parliamentary commission investigating the circumstances in which the deal between Ukraine’s energy company Naftogaz and Russia’s Gazprom was signed has obtained a document “confirming the fact that Tymoshenko was personally interested in signing the gas contracts [that were] non-beneficial for Ukraine,” the commission’s head, lawmaker Inna Bogoslavskaya, was quoted by the Kommersant Ukraina newspaper as saying.
