乌克兰危机:季莫申科有望竞选总统

2014-02-25来源:CCTV9

Ukrainian opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko has accepted an invitation from German Chancellor Angela Merkal to be treated for a back problem in Germany.

Tymoshenko's Batkivshchyna party announced her decision on its website. It says Tymoshenko will go to Berlin's Charite Hospital after attending the European People's Party congress, which starts in Dublin on March 6th. Hours after the removal of her bitter rival, Viktor Yanukovych, the former prime minister was released from the hospital where she had been held under prison guard. She’d been there for most of the time since her conviction for abuse of office in 2011.

Tymoshenko addressed anti-Yanukovych protesters on Kiev's Independence Square from a wheelchair on Saturday evening. She's widely expected to run in a presidential election on May 25th, but she has not said what her plans are.
