Arrest fears force Ukraine's 'iron lady' to cancel Moscow trip

(Filed: 13/04/2005)

Yulia Tymoshenko, Ukraine's prime minister, has indefinitely delayed her visit to Moscow after threats of arrest.

Miss Tymoshenko, who was part of Viktor Yushchenko's team which took power in the orange revolution last November, has been told that criminal charges against her are still in force.

She had been planning to go to Russia for a two-day state visit, planned for April 15, but the government has been forced to cancel.

Russia's top prosecutor said she is wanted in Russia on charges of bribing military officials while she was head of a gas trading company in the mid-1990s. She denies the charges.

Vladimir Ustinov, Russia's general prosecutor, told parliament's upper house yesterday the case against Miss Tymoshenko was still open.

"She is on the wanted list, as before," he said, quoted by Russian news agencies.

An arrest warrant for Miss Tymoshenko was issued by a Russian military court last September.
