The court hearing of the case against former prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko regarding financial activities of the United Energy Systems of Ukraine Corporation has been adjourned until 1000 on July 23.
The court made this decision due to the absence of the defendant for health reasons, an Interfax-Ukraine correspondent reported.
As reported, Kyiv Regional Court in Kharkiv during its hearing of the UESU case on June 25 decided to order a medical assessment of Tymoshenko. Kharkiv regional medical review bureau was charged to conducting this assessment.
On July 9, medical experts said they needed additional time to provide a commission their conclusions about the state of health of the former premier due to her refusal to cooperate.
Tymoshenko's defense counsel Serhiy Vlasenko said that his client had been getting worse.
Meanwhile, German Charite Clinic doctor Lutz Harms, who is currently treating Tymoshenko, said that the state of health of the former premier stabilized.
