Turchynov: Tymoshenko beautiful and strong despite all problems

First Deputy Head of the Batkivschyna Party Oleksandr Turchynov and former Ukrainian Premier Yulia Tymoshenko have held a meeting at Kharkiv Central Clinical Hospital No. 5, which lasted for four hours and was held in the presence of a representative of the Kachanivska Penal Colony.

"The meeting took place in the presence of a representative from the Kachanivska colony. I mean it was not a tête-à-tête meeting. The employee of the colony sat close to us and when we spoke in low tones she asked us to speak louder because she couldn't hear us well," Turchynov told reporters near the hospital.

He added that Tymoshenko is still a real leader, despite her disease and court persecution.

"The main thing is that I saw Yulia Volodymyrivna, and I saw that despite everything that is going on with her, she is beautiful and strong, she never gives up, no one will break her, and she remains a real leader, with whom we can only win," Turchynov said.
