Kolomoisky calls law enforcement actions against Tymoshenko bullying

Businessman's reaction to night-time actions at the home of "Batkivshchyna" leader

Ihor Kolomoisky publicly reacted to events involving Yulia Tymoshenko, who heads the "Batkivshchyna" party. The businessman used harsh and ironic language to characterise the actions of law enforcement representatives. In his view, such measures are nothing more than bullying of an experienced politician.

Reference to the history of Tymoshenko's political career

In his statement, Kolomoisky emphasised the importance of respecting a person with a significant political path. He recalled difficult periods in the life of the faction leader, specifically participation in revolutions and time spent in prisons and hard labour camps.

«Що ви знущаєтеся з ветеранки української політики? Вона стільки пройшла: революції, в’язниці, каторги. Вламалися вночі до будинку, підкинули 40 тисяч!» (Why are you bullying a veteran of Ukrainian politics? She has been through so much: revolutions, prisons, hard labour. They broke into the house at night, planted 40,000!) — said Ihor Kolomoisky.

The businessman was outraged specifically by the circumstances of the investigative actions, which took place at night, and expressed dissatisfaction with the situation regarding the "planted" 40,000 hryvnias.
