The Ukrainian judiciary has delayed the appeal of former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko for the third time, regarding her seven-year prison sentence for abuse of power. Tymoshenko claims the sentence is politically motivated by President Viktor Yanukovych. Her supporters expressed outrage outside the court. Lawyer Sergei Vlasenko suggests the delay aims to prevent the case from reaching the European Court of Human Rights, which plans to review it on August 28. The Ukrainian court must first exhaust all domestic legal avenues. The prosecution cites Tymoshenko's health as the reason for the delay. The case has strained Ukraine's relations with Western countries, which criticize the political motivations and call for Tymoshenko's release.
