Tymoshenko goes on hunger strike

Ukraine's former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko has gone on an indefinite hunger strike to demand that the Ukrainian leadership sign the Association Agreement with the European Union.

"As a sign of unity with you I am announcing an indefinite hunger strike to demand that [Ukrainian President Viktor] Yanukovych sign the Association Agreement," Tymoshenko said in a letter, read out by her defense counsel Serhiy Vlasenko on European Square in Kyiv on Monday, where a rally for European Ukraine is being held.
