Tymoshenko: Yanukovych understands only language of sanctions imposed on him, family

The only possible language of negotiations that would be clear for Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych is the language of sanctions, ex-premier Yulia Tymoshenko said.

"Sanctions imposed on Yanukovych and his family is a only language he understands," premier's defender Serhiy Vlasenko quoted Tymoshenko as saying, as the press service of Batkivschyna Party reported on Thursday.

He also said that the ex-premier continues hunger strike the tenth day running in sympathy for the people protesting on the streets all over Ukraine.

"She's very physically weak, but one can't break her psychologically. She is strong in spirit," he said.
