Tymoshenko planning to demand withdrawal of judge Kireyev

Former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko has said that she will continue to demand the withdrawal of Rodion Kireyev, a judge of the Pechersky District Court of Kyiv.

"We believe that Mr. Kireyev cannot serve as a judge at all, not just in this trial, but, in principle, in any trial," Tymoshenko told journalists on Thursday before entering the courthouse.
