Former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko's state of health has worsened, according to her defense lawyer, Serhiy Vlasenko.

"Yulia Volodymyrivna's state of health connected with her back problems has worsened and she cannot walk. She was unable to walk even to the room in which we used to hold meetings earlier… She can sit, but this brings pain on her, she was lying all the time during our meeting," Vlasenko told a press briefing on Tuesday, January 22.

He also rejected the State Penitentiary's Service's statement saying that Tymoshenko refused to see him and her daughter Yevhenia Tymoshenko.
