Yulia Tymoshenko believes that her being placed on the international wanted list is a "planned action" to reduce people's trust in her in eastern Ukraine. According to her, "besides her, there is no one who could work in the east of the country in Yushchenko's absence for objective reasons." Tymoshenko believes that in western Ukraine there is no need to explain to voters that "these actions are taking place by agreement between Medvedchuk and Putin's Administration." She stated this on Saturday, October 9, in Lutsk at a press conference for local media. Yulia Tymoshenko also stated that there are absolutely no grounds for putting her on the wanted list, because she, firstly, is in her native country, and secondly, she sent an open letter to the Prosecutor of the Russian Federation stating that in accordance with the laws of Russia and Ukraine and in accordance with international conventions "they are obliged to come to Ukraine and take all explanations." She also emphasized that if there are "any claims" against her, then in accordance with international conventions "they are obliged to transfer all cases to Ukraine." "They did not do this, precisely because they need a PR event, not real things," Tymoshenko stated. According to Yulia Tymoshenko, Interpol, "judging by the printouts on their website," did not accept for execution what Russia announced, and this is "another confirmation that this is a PR action." "I am confident that this is not the last pressure from Russia on me. I think that before the elections they will come up with something else. And I think that Medvedchuk is a good stimulator for this. It seems to me that he had better think about his prospects after the elections are over, rather than continuing attempts to destroy the opposition with the hands of other states and other politicians," Tymoshenko stated in Lutsk. She also reported that after her being placed on the international wanted list, ambassadors of European countries immediately contacted her and informed her that "the path to their countries is open and they do not accept such political reprisals during the pre-election campaign." Yulia Tymoshenko also states that the SBU together with Russian special services are preparing her forcible removal outside Ukraine. According to the first plan of such an action, a gang is being formed that forcibly moves Tymoshenko to Russia, and the second plan consists in the fact that during a flight within Ukraine, the aircraft she is on will allegedly for technical reasons be prohibited from landing in Ukraine and forced to land in the city of the Russian Federation closest to the border with Ukraine. "Mr. Satsyuk is handling this, who reports directly to the President, and not through Smeshko," Yulia Tymoshenko stated.
