Doctors from Germany's Charite Clinic are expected to arrive in Ukraine to visit former Ukrainian Premier Yulia Tymoshenko on October 14-15, First Deputy Health Minister of Ukraine Raisa Moiseyenko has said.

"We're expecting their arrival next week. They scheduled it for October 14-15. Earlier, they planned to arrive on October 8, but they failed to come," she said at a press conference in Kyiv on Wednesday.

Moiseyenko also said that she had no information about the worsening of the health state of Tymoshenko.

According to her, Tymoshenko is undergoing a course of treatment prescribed by German doctors. The course of treatment is based on active movement.

When asked about plans regarding Tymoshenko's discharge from the hospital, Moiseyenko said: "According to standards of the Health Ministry and European standards, any treatment course for such a disease should last for two or three weeks. [Tymoshenko's] treatment has lasted five months."

Moiseyenko stressed that German doctors are in charge of Tymoshenko's treatment, and their recommendations regarding the ex-premier's discharge "will be taken into account."
