Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych insists that the so-called problem of former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko is fully within the judicial bodies' purview, and that presidential powers are not enough in this case.

"My powers and my viewpoint are not enough. It's a court that has to give an answer," Yanukovych said in an interview with Ukrainian TV channels, stressing that Tymoshenko should also be interested in this.
