Source: German doctors arrive at Tymoshenko hospital
Doctors from the Berlin-based Charite Hospital have arrived in Kharkiv to see former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, who is undergoing treatment at Central Clinical Hospital No. 5, a source close to the medical community has told Interfax-Ukraine.
He said that a car with the doctors arrived at the hospital at about 0800.
An official confirmation or denial of this report has not yet been received.
On October 11, 2011, Pechersky District Court in Kyiv sentenced Tymoshenko to seven years in prison for abuse of office when signing gas contracts with Russia in 2009. She has served her prison term in Kachanivska Penal Colony in Kharkiv since late December 2011. Tymoshenko is currently undergoing medical treatment in a hospital in Kharkiv. The tactics and medical treatment of the ex-premier are determined by German doctors from Charite Hospital (Berlin).
