Criminal case against Tymoshenko won't be dropped - Ustinov
MOSCOW. Jan 26 (Interfax) - Russia will not close the criminal case it opened against Ukraine's acting Prime Minister Yuliya Tymoshenko, Russian Prosecutor General Vladimir Ustinov told Interfax on Wednesday.

"This case will be investigated in compliance with Russian legislation, no more and no less," Ustinov said.

Commenting on the possibility of detaining Tymoshenko if she comes to Russia, he said there is a court ruling to authorizing such a measure.

"Prosecutors do not arrest. This happens under court rulings," he said.

Ukraine and Russia's chill deepens as 'wanted' woman made premier

CHRIS STEPHEN
IN MOSCOW

ATTEMPTS by Ukraine’s new president Viktor Yushchenko to mend fences with Russia got off to a bad start yesterday when he named Yulia Tymoshenko, the subject of a Moscow arrest warrant, as his new prime minister.

The announcement came hours before Mr Yushchenko arrived in Moscow to ease tensions with the Kremlin caused by the turmoil surrounding last month’s presidential election.

Russian president Vladimir Putin backed Yushchenko’s rival, Viktor Yanukovich.

The Kremlin is alarmed at Mr Yushchenko’s intention to face westwards, rather than toward Ukraine’s traditional ally, Moscow.

Anxious to ensure good relations with his country’s huge neighbour to the east, Mr Yushchenko very pointedly made Moscow the first stop on a week-long tour of Europe.

But his mission was not made easier by the announcement that Ms Tymoshenko, his deputy in the so-called Orange Revolution, was going to be the new premier.

In Kiev, Ms Tymoshenko is a popular choice: she was the president’s passionate sidekick throughout Orange Revolution which saw huge demonstrations in the streets of Kiev.

The announcement is seen in Ukraine as reward for her support, but in Russia it will be a further obstacle to harmony. Last month, Russian prosecutors accused Ms Tymoshenko of fraud during the 1990s when she was a gas trader.

Not a sirprise. If Russia and Ukraine needs to patch something up, the PM of Ukraine most be able to visit Russia.

Russia has still some f the Sovjet mentality in them, where they need to show off the power, even its juts for a day or two.
