People's Deputy of Ukraine, one of the leaders of the "Power of the People" coalition, Yulia Tymoshenko, claims that the report of the head of the temporary investigative commission of the Verkhovna Rada investigating the circumstances of Yushchenko's poisoning, Volodymyr Sivkovych, was falsified. As Yulia Tymoshenko stated on Saturday in Lutsk at a press conference for local media, already at the stage of creating this commission, under pressure from the Presidential Administration, people were delegated to the commission who were a priori biased and took "not the position of an honest investigation of the situation, but a purely political position and aimed to use the temporary investigative commission to falsify the results of such parliamentary investigations." "We saw this in several components. First, the commission did not take into account a whole range of documents in order to draw its conclusions. In the report made by Sivkovych, it did not take into account the first conclusion of the doctors, where everything was clearly stated regarding the poisoning of Viktor Yushchenko with substances that are not part of food products. They did not take into account objective studies regarding the state of health of Viktor Andriyovych," Tymoshenko stated. She also stated that on the morning of the day when the commission was supposed to make its report, documents arrived from the hospital in Vienna, which contained answers to 12 questions that the temporary investigative commission had posed to this hospital. The hospital provided answers to the questions the same day, as the commission had requested. According to Yulia Tymoshenko, Viktor Yushchenko gave written permission to the commission to examine these documents, and did not object, but on the contrary — asked the commission to do so. "But the commission ignored these documents, did not delay its report even for a few hours to study the documents, and thereby they made the report virtually without the main evidentiary documents. Secondly, we got the impression that Mr. Sivkovych saw this report only from the rostrum. Because when the conclusions on the temporary investigative commission were voted on, completely different things were voted on. Conceptually, the members of the commission voted to continue the work and not make any conclusions due to the lack of grounds," Tymoshenko stated. According to Yulia Volodymyrivna, Volodymyr Sivkovych came out with a report "that was absolutely unknown to the majority of members of the temporary investigative commission." Yulia Tymoshenko also drew attention to the fact that after his report, Sivkovych was "promoted on all of Medvedchuk's and Pinchuk's channels as if he were a TV star." In her conviction, this indicates that everything was planned in advance. Yulia Tymoshenko also stated that according to her data, Sivkovych's report on the causes of Yushchenko's poisoning appeared on the Internet even before the head of the temporary commission investigating the circumstances of Yushchenko's poisoning delivered it from the rostrum. "On pro-government websites, his report and commentaries on this report appeared earlier than Sivkovych delivered this report. This happened because the report in parliament was delayed for objective reasons. The services of the Presidential Administration that work with the media were not informed about this. And they found themselves in an awkward situation when the information came out earlier than it was announced," Yulia Tymoshenko stated. She also said that the speech of the deputy head of the temporary investigative commission of the Verkhovna Rada investigating the circumstances of Yushchenko's poisoning, Serhiy Shevchuk, who does not work in the opposition faction (works in the NDP-PPPU), was a "pleasant surprise," since this person took an "honest and open position for public discussion." "I want to express gratitude to Mr. Shevchuk and say that he restored hope for the entire parliament with his speech," said Yulia Tymoshenko.
