Doctors from the Berlin clinic Charite may come to Ukrainian Former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko at Kharkiv-based Central Clinical Hospital No. 5 on Thursday, a source close to the medical community told Interfax-Ukraine.

The office of the Kharkiv clinic administrator neither denied nor confirmed the news.

"There are not here now. We do not know whether they will come or not," an office representative told Interfax-Ukraine.

Kyiv's Pechersky District Court found Tymoshenko guilty of abuse of office in signing gas supply contracts with Russia in 2009 and sentenced her to 7 years in prison on October 11, 2011. Tymoshenko has been serving her sentence at a penitentiary in Kharkiv since the end of December 2011.

On May 9, 2012, Tymoshenko was transferred to Central Clinical Hospital No. 5 in Kharkiv to undergo a treatment course in line with recommendations by doctors from the Berlin-based Charite clinic. The last time German doctors visited their patient in Kharkiv was on October 14.

The day after the parliamentary elections in Ukraine, on October 29, Tymoshenko went on a hunger strike to protest vote rigging.
