The Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine said today it has become possible to send ex-premier of Ukraine Yulia Tymoshenko for treatment in Germany.

"There are no laws that could strictly exclude such a possibility, but this is not such simple question as it seems to you. Mutual political inter-state decisions are required for her treatment in Germany. But such a possibility definitely exists," First Deputy Prosecutor General of Ukraine Renat Kuzmin told Forbes magazine.

Asked if talks are ongoing concerning the treatment of Tymoshenko abroad, Kuzmin said: "I'm a prosecutor - my task isn't to hold talks, but to investigate crimes."

He said Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych could pardon the ex-premier, but only after all of her trials are completed.

"Yes, he could [pardon Tymoshenko]. And the president said this directly in his speech: [but] to pardon Tymoshenko, inquiries and court trials into all criminal cases regarding her have to be finished," Kuzmin said.

"This means that pardoning the convicted Tymoshenko is possible, but this is exclusive right of the president, and a condition of the pardoning is the completion of all trials," the first deputy prosecutor general said.

As reported, on October 11, 2011, the Pechersky District Court in Kyiv sentenced Tymoshenko to seven years in prison for exceeding her authority when signing gas supply contracts with Russia in 2009. She has been serving her sentence at the Kachanivska correctional facility in Kharkiv since late December 2011.

Since May 9, 2012, she has been staying at a Kharkiv hospital and receiving medial treatment there. Doctors from Germany's Charite Hospital have been treating the ex-premier.
