Ukrainian First Deputy Prosecutor General Renat Kuzmin has said he is ready to personally express the position of the public prosecutor on the criminal cases of former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko to the U.S. Congress.

Kuzmin said this in an open letter to U.S. congressmen, which was posted on the Web site of the Prosecutor General's Office on Friday, in connection with a resolution on Ukraine approved by the U.S. Senate.

"I'm ready to speak in front of you in Congress. I am also ready to provide all the documents upon this matter. I'm ready to speak to the American media in order to tell the truth. I will be glad if you hear me. My only motivation is my desire to convey my position, so you would know the truth," reads the letter.

"I 'm fully persuaded that you were not provided with sufficient information upon the matter of Yulia Tymoshenko having inflicted an irretrievable damage to Ukraine, which affected moral state of the whole nation. Primarily, we wish that the fair trial would bring an answer to the question whether a prosecutor or a lawyer was more convincing. We believe that this decision should not be made by the Senate, to which Ukrainians express as much respect and trust as Americans," Kuzmin said.

He also noted that he is "motivated by patriotism and responsibility to the Ukrainian nation."

"I'm deeply convinced that the adopted resolution on Ukraine could be considered fair neither to our young state nor to all of its citizens," Kuzmin said.

He also drew the attention of the congressmen to the fact that the Prosecutor General's Office had not received a response to its inquiries regarding the possibility of questioning former Ukrainian Prime Minister Pavlo Lazarenko, who is in the United States.

"The Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine within the period of 2011-2012 appealed to the U.S. Department of Justice and State Department more than 20 times in order to receive assistance in interviewing former Prime Minister of Ukraine Pavlo Lazarenko, who claimed about his readiness to bear testimony to Ukrainian investigators. In fact, we never received a response. We had no opportunity to receive important testimony about murders in Ukraine," he said.

"There is no doubt that the termination of a criminal case concerning the matter of murdering four people is a great sin in face of God and people. By permitting it occur, we will commit another crime, showing the new generation, that the politician, who has the powers, may with impunity act illegally, and even murder people," Kuzmin said.

"The dramatic effect of the situation, which was created by Yulia Tymoshenko's associates artificially, should not obscure authentic documentary facts and must not permit us compromise with crime," he said.

The Prosecutor General's Office noted that this official letter had been made public after the Ukrainian media distributed several versions of Kuzmin's open letter to the U.S. Congress, "which are significantly different from each other."
