Veronica Khokhlova

Foreign Notes cites journalist Viktoria Syumar's blog post [ru], which compares prison conditions of the jailed ex-PM Yulia Tymoshenko to those of Anders Breivik, and writes – here and here – about Tymoshenko's health problems. Also on Foreign Notes, a post on the dispersal of a protest by Chernobyl clean-up vets in Donetsk, which resulted in the death of one protester. Ukrainiana re-posts videos from the celebration of Tymoshenko's birthday in front of the Kyiv detention center she's kept in – as well as photos of the Spanish villa where the ex-PM and her family reportedly vacationed a year before.
