Searches at Yulia Tymoshenko's house — what is known

According to the politician, on the morning of January 14, “urgent investigative actions” that lasted all night were completed at the Batkivshchyna party office.

Tymoshenko claims that over 30 men “armed to the teeth” without presenting any documents actually seized the building and took employees hostage.

The last time Yanukovych's stormtroopers stormed us like this was during the Revolution of Dignity. But then they at least covered up their invasion with some piece of paper from the Pechersk court... Now there was no such thing," the politician complains.

She also assures that nothing was found during the searches.

Tymoshenko is furious because, they say, her work phones, parliamentary documents, and personal savings were taken.

"I categorically reject all absurd accusations," she said.
