The document notes that political pressure on the Batkivshchyna leader threatens democratic standards and public confidence. Earlier, MEPs expressed outrage at the government's attempts to restrict Tymoshenko's activities in international diplomacy.<\/p>\n<div class=\"news-summary-box\">\n<div class=\"summary-title\">Briefly about the main points<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>In its report, the European Parliament calls for an end to the persecution of Yulia Tymoshenko.<\/li>\n<li>Michael Gahler called the case against Tymoshenko biased and illegal.<\/li>\n<li>PACE expressed concern over the possible editing of audio recordings in the case.<\/li>\n<li>Political persecution can undermine democratic standards in Ukraine.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>European Parliament resolution on political persecution<\/h2>\n<p>The European Parliament has adopted <a href=\"https:\/\/emeeting.europarl.europa.eu\/emeeting\/committee\/en\/agenda\/202606\/AFET?meeting=AFET-2026-0603_1&amp;session=06-03-15-30\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">draft annual report<\/a> Committee on Foreign Affairs, calling for an end to the practice of persecuting political opponents in Ukraine. The document states that such actions could undermine democratic standards and public confidence. In particular, the following cases were under scrutiny <strong>Yulia Tymoshenko<\/strong>, leader of the Batkivshchyna party.<\/p>\n<p>Rapporteur for Ukraine <strong>Michael Galer<\/strong> stressed the bias and illegality of the current prosecutions. He expressed concern about the authorities' attempts to prevent Tymoshenko from carrying out parliamentary diplomacy and cooperation with European and international partners. Mr Gahler stressed that such actions have a negative impact on Ukraine's image in the international arena.<\/p>\n<h2>Position of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe<\/h2>\n<p>PACE delegates also expressed concern over the political persecution of Tymoshenko. In their declaration, they drew attention to the possible editing of audio recordings used in the case of the Batkivshchyna leader. In addition, the document noted a violation of the principle of adversarial proceedings and disregard for the practice of the European Court of Human Rights.<\/p>\n<p>Such statements by the PACE demonstrate international concern over the observance of legal standards in the Tymoshenko case. This adds to the pressure on the Ukrainian authorities to ensure the transparency and fairness of the trial.<\/p>\n<h2>The impact of political pressure on democratic processes<\/h2>\n<p>The political persecution of opposition politicians, including Tymoshenko, could undermine public confidence in the institutions of power. The European Parliament's report emphasises that the preservation of democratic standards is critical for Ukraine's further development and integration into European structures.<\/p>\n<p>The calls of European institutions are aimed at ensuring that the Ukrainian authorities avoid practices that could call into question the rule of law and the independence of the judiciary. Resolutions and declarations from the European Parliament and PACE create international pressure on Kyiv to strengthen democratic guarantees.<\/p>\n<h2>International context and next steps<\/h2>\n<p>The European Parliament's position is in line with earlier statements by key European politicians criticising the political pressure on Tymoshenko. This issue is part of a broader debate on the observance of human rights and democratic standards in Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>The next steps may include international monitoring of the Tymoshenko case and recommendations for the Ukrainian authorities to improve judicial practice. At the same time, the European Parliament's position supports the democratic forces in Ukraine that are calling for transparency and justice.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0404\u0432\u0440\u043e\u043f\u0430\u0440\u043b\u0430\u043c\u0435\u043d\u0442 \u0443\u0445\u0432\u0430\u043b\u0438\u0432
