Yulia Tymoshenko not in court due to poor health

"Tying me to the Shcherban case is absurd. Absurdity is absurd. It can’t be analyzed, appealed or ridiculed. It’s on the other side of morality, decency, humanity and common sense. Competing against such absurdity is a thankless and hopeless matter because it’s unearthly, anti-worldly, fantasy," Yulia Tymoshenko

"Yanukovych basically appointed two governments: one with premier Arbuzov, who will de facto control all the ministers, and the other government of Azarov alone. The latter has a nice portfolio but no subordinates – it’s like having a general’s epaulettes but no army", Yulia Tymoshenko

"I see that the goal for the sake of which I started my hunger strike has been achieved. Nobody can now consider this Verkhovna Rada as legitimate and democratically elected. Therefore, I believe that on the 18th day I can end my hunger strike and continue my battle against Yanukovych’s corrupt regime using all other means", Yulia Tymoshenko
