Kyiv—Today, the administrative district court of Kyiv considered a case against President Yushchenko, Premier Yulia Tymoshenko, and Speaker Arsenii Yatseniuk. The proceedings resulted from a claim of an all-Ukrainian public organization “Orthodox Choice.” The claim was provoked by a letter, known as the “Letter of the Three,” that was written by top officials to the general secretary of NATO. The organization’s active members accuse the Ukrainian leaders of a “crime against the Ukrainian nation and treason of their homeland for drawing Ukraine into NATO.” Risu's Ukrainian-language web page posted this story on 4 July, 2008.
A representative of Yulia Tymoshenko was the only one of the authorities present. As a result, the court sitting was postponed until 22 September. The absence of representatives of Victor Yushchenko and Arsenii Yatseniuk did not surprise the claimants. The claimant’s lawyer Maria Liashchenko said, “We will not give up this case and will wait for the next court session.”
